In many applications where it is desired to distribute a liquid onto a surface at a very small angle of incidence, it will be necessary to reduce the momentum of the droplets to prevent ricochet off the surface. Obvious methods such as using a restrictor, reducing the operating pressure, etc. are not satisfactory due to the inadequate flow, susceptibility to clogging, etc.

What is claimed is: 1. A liquid spray in which the spray droplets have a momentum which allows spray droplets to be delivered to a selected surface area without said spray droplets bouncing off of said selected surface, comprising, a fluidic oscillator connected to a source of liquid under pressure

What is claimed is: 1. A liquid spray in which the spray droplets have a momentum which allows spray droplets to be delivered to a selected surface area without said spray droplets bouncing off of said selected surface, comprising, a fluidic oscillator connected to a source of liquid under pressure and wherein said fluidic oscillator is selected from: (a) a multiple power nozzle oscillator, (b) a reversing chamber oscillator, and (c) a feedback oscillator, and a non-restrictor pressure reducer upstream of said fluidic oscillator, and wherein said non-restrictor pressure reducer is a vortex valve. 2. A fluidic spray system for producing a liquid spray in which the spray droplets have a momentum such that said spray droplets do not bounce on impacting a surface and allows substantially unrestricted flows to be delivered to a point of utilization on said surface comprising a fluidic oscillator having an input coupled to a supply of liquid under pressure and a vortex valve immediately upstream of said fluidic oscillator, said vortex valve having an output which is connected to the input of said fluidic oscillator. 3. A fluidic oscillator spray system comprising a fluidic oscillator and non-restrictor pressure reducing means coupling said oscillator to a source of liquid for producing a liquid spray in which the spray droplets have a momentum and allows for producing droplets of larger diameters and a selected range of diameters for similar operating pressures.
