Predicting Spray Nozzle Performance

My company currently uses SolidWorks. We are looking atimproving the jet performance (cohesive jet over longer throwdistances) of our spray heads by using more than just physicalprototypes.

In talking with our VAR, they informed us Floworks is capable ofmodeling the liquid flow through the device, but not once it entersthe atmosphere. In general terms, is there a way to predict howcohesive a jet will be if we know the fluid's flow characteristicsimmediately before it enters the atmosphere?
