    Abstract
    The production of agricultural products is one of the most important human economic activities. The issue of mechanized and optimal use of pesticides is vital for human health and the environment, and the use of helicopters makes this possible. Although spray-based systems in helicopters are one of the most effective ways to produce agricultural products, it is still unclear how droplet movement in aerial spraying is affected by the complex downwash flow created by rotors. Modeling agricultural air spray to identify the spray trend of droplets in the air stream, downwash flows, and consequent vortices has attracted more attention as a result of the development of computational fluid...
