dave lajoie, I seem to recall, did some work in this area. You may find a

Subject: particle alignment


Has anyone figured out a way to get particles to realign their orientation
after being deformed.  

You can check 'align with velocity' which is good till the particle goes
through a deformation.  It would be great to have the particle re-calculate
velocity after all deforms (or have a separate deformed velocity) to use for
particle alignment.
