How liquid spreads
The distribution of droplets or particles when liquid or other material is discharged from a nozzle or opening.
Different spray patterns suit different purposes: a wide fan pattern for painting walls, a focused stream for pressure washing, a fine mist for perfume.
Forensic investigators analyze blood spray patterns to reconstruct violent events.
Adjust the nozzle to change the spray pattern.
