Abstract

A method for emitting a fluid from an aerial fluid dispersal system includes emitting the fluid from a plurality of individually controlled nozzle assemblies distributed across a manifold assembly. The method also includes receiving, at a controller, an input associated with a desired droplet size of the fluid emitted from each respective nozzle assembly and determining, by the controller, a target differential fluid velocity for each respective nozzle assembly based on the desired droplet size. The method also includes regulating, using the controller, the velocity of the fluid exiting each respective nozzle assembly to produce the target differential fluid velocity from each respective nozzle assembly.
