Windshield wiper washer jets

I'm trying to simulate washer fluid jetting on to the rear window as well as the windscreen. Any tutorials that may help get me there, especially with multiple squirting effects.

Thanks but what I'm looking for is a way to squirt the liquid onto the windshield in a tight controlled stream from the jet for about 1 second and then repeat.

Ok, so you want a fluid(liquid) simulation, right?

You are correct

And so the problem is the spread water when the windshield hit water.

I have seen this tutorial and unfortunately its 9 years old. I'm using Maya 2022 and the interface has changed. There is no longer a Bifrost tab but a Bifrost Fluids tab and it has no command for adding an accelerator. I'm assuming it's been moved to a different menu but I've yet to find it. If there's an updated version of this tutorial that is current I would love to see it.
