Spray Pattern Simulation

Key Features

  • Bernoulli-Based Calculations: Automatically computes optimal compressor PSI/Bar and thinner mixing ratios based on paint viscosity, nozzle size (0.2mm–0.5mm), and spray application type.
  • Live Visual Spray Simulation: Uses an interactive HTML5 Canvas to render a real-time visual preview of particle distribution and spray pattern spread.
  • Proportional Mix Bar: Displays a dynamic visual balance bar illustrating the exact volume ratio between paint and thinner.

How to Use

  1. Select Paint Type: Choose your paint medium (Acrylic, Enamel, Lacquer, or Urethane) to account for natural base viscosity.
  2. Select Nozzle Size: Pick the airbrush nozzle diameter (0.2mm, 0.3mm, or 0.5mm) mounted on your airbrush.
  3. Select Spray Technique: Choose between Fine Detail, Standard Coverage, or Wide Area painting depending on your task.
  4. Review Results: Read the recommended air pressure (PSI/Bar), mixing ratio, and observe the live spray cone simulation below.
