Fountains and Wind: How Architects Control Airflow to Shape Water

Adjustable Nozzles: Nozzles that can change the trajectory of the water based on wind conditions, automatically lowering the jet height when winds increase.
Aerated Jets: These use air-mixed water streams that are less susceptible to wind disruption.
Laminar Flow Nozzles: These create smooth, cohesive water arcs that resist wind distortion better than misting or dispersed jets.
