An injector includes a nozzle body extending along a longitudinal axis and at least one spray hole extending through a portion of the nozzle body to output a fluid from the injector. The spray hole includes at least one groove. The groove is configured to facilitate efficient mixing of the fluid with air or other surrounding materials for enhanced performance of the injector and/or other components associated with the injector.
