An improved fluid mixing nozzle and method, in which a first fluid flows therefrom to mix with a second fluid external the nozzle, for inducing vortex creation and chaotic turbulent flow. The nozzle has a body with a cavity extending therethrough from the inlet end to the outlet end. The cross sectional area of the inlet orifice of the nozzle is greater than its outlet orifice cross sectional area. The outlet orifice cross section area shape has a substantially circular central portion and at least one (but typically more than one) protrusion extending from the perimeter of the central portion. Generally, the protrusions are smaller in cross sectional area than the central portion, are equally spaced about the central portion perimeter, and have a length to width ratio from 1 to 2. Functionally applying the above described nozzle is a method of improved mixing, of creating chaotic turbulent flow, and of inducing vortex creation.
