püskürmeler

Püskürmeler is a Turkish noun meaning the act or result of spurting, spraying, or erupting substances from a source. The word comes from the verb püskürtmek, to spray or spurt, with the noun formed by the suffix -me and used in the plural püskürmeler to denote multiple such events or phenomena.

In geology and volcanology, püskürmeler refer to eruptions in which materials are expelled from a vent or crater. They can be explosive, ejecting ash clouds, pumice, and gases, or effusive, involving the extrusion of lava flows and volcanic rocks. Püskürmeler may also describe jets of steam and volcanic gases emitted from fumaroles during or between eruptive phases.

Outside natural contexts, the term is used for any rapid expulsion of liquids or gases. This includes jets from fountains, sprinkler and cleaning systems, coolant sprays, and industrial jets where a pressurized medium is released. The common feature is the sudden, directional discharge of material from a source.

Observations of püskürmeler are the subject of geoscience and engineering. In volcanology, monitoring such events involves seismology, gas measurements, ground deformation, and remote sensing to assess eruption style and hazards. In industrial settings, reliability, spray patterns, and safety precautions are evaluated to manage equipment performance and exposure risks.
