suihkugeometrian

Suihkugeometria is a term used to describe the study of the geometric properties of spray patterns produced by nozzles, atomizers, and spray devices. The field seeks to describe how sprayed material fills space, how the spray envelope evolves over distance, and how nozzle geometry and operating conditions influence coverage and deposition.

Key concepts in suihkugeometria include the spray cone or jet geometry, the boundary surface of the spray, and the spatial distribution of droplets within the spray. Researchers analyze axisymmetric spray configurations as a baseline and extend the study to multiple jets, oblique incidence on targets, and interactions with ambient airflows. Mathematical models blend geometric descriptions with fluid-dynamic parameters such as nozzle exit angle, droplet size distribution, spray velocity, and turbulence. Techniques range from parametric surface representations to stochastic models of droplet trajectories, with occasional use of computational fluid dynamics to simulate complex flows.

The field has applications across industry and research, including industrial coating and painting, agricultural spraying, inkjet and additive manufacturing processes, and multimedia art installations that utilize spray as a material. Insights from suihkugeometria help optimize nozzle design, targeting strategies, and process control to improve coverage, reduce waste, and achieve desired deposition patterns.
