Abstract
A nozzle assembly for use with an agricultural crop sprayer includes a nozzle body and a turbine element journaled to the body. The turbine element has a fluid-conveying internal passage having a rifled profile. Other nozzle assemblies have a nozzle tip journaled to a nozzle body, and the nozzle tip has a fluid-carrying passage with a surface profile configured to interact with fluid passing therethrough to apply a torque on the nozzle tip.
