A nozzle assembly for applying a fluid on a substrate includes a plurality of plates, a first fluid conduit having a first inlet configured and a first discharge orifice configured to discharge a first fluid generally in a first direction, and a second fluid conduit having a second inlet, a second discharge orifice configured to discharge a second fluid generally in a second direction intersecting the first direction and a third discharge orifice. The second fluid acts on the first fluid at the first discharge orifice. A method of applying the fluid on the substrate includes continuously feeding the substrate by the nozzle assembly, discharging, in the first direction, the first fluid from the first discharge orifice onto the substrate, discharging, in the second direction, the second fluid from the second discharge orifice, and discharging, generally in the first direction, the second fluid from the third orifice.
