Fractal orifice plate

摘要

A conduit with a terminal end, wherein proximate to the terminal end is an orifice plate, wherein the orifice plate has at least one orifice with at least one perimeter, and the at least one perimeter is in a fractal pattern, wherein the conduit can be a nozzle assembly for a flow, wherein examples of a nozzle assembly include a fuel injector, a shower head, a faucet head, and a nozzle head, wherein proximate to the terminal end of each nozzle is the orifice plate with a fractal pattern that provides a downstream spray pattern.

主权项

1. A nozzle assembly for a flow, comprising:
a conduit for an upstream flow; a terminal end of said conduit for a downstream spray; and an orifice plate proximate to said terminal end; wherein said orifice plate comprises a scale-invariant fractal pattern that repeats the same pattern from a first scale to a second scale.
