  2. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    If the fluid is flowing out of a reservoir, the sum of all forms of energy is the same because in a reservoir the energy per unit volume (the sum of pressure and gravitational potential ρ g h) is the same everywhere. [6]: Example 3.5 and p.116 Bernoulli's principle can also be derived directly from Isaac Newton's second Law of Motion. When ...

  3. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s. It can be thought of as the fluid's kinetic energy per unit volume. For incompressible flow, the dynamic pressure of a fluid is the difference between its total pressure and static pressure.

  4. High-speed flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_flight

    In high-speed flight, the assumptions of incompressibility of the air used in low-speed aerodynamics no longer apply. In subsonic aerodynamics , the theory of lift is based upon the forces generated on a body and a moving gas (air) in which it is immersed.

  5. Hydrodynamica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamica

    The book describes the theory of water flowing through a tube and of water flowing from a hole in a container. In doing so, Bernoulli explained the nature of hydrodynamic pressure and discovered the role of loss of vis viva in fluid flow, which would later be known as the Bernoulli principle. The book also discusses hydraulic machines and ...

  6. Daniel Bernoulli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Bernoulli

    Daniel Bernoulli FRS (/ b ɜːr ˈ n uː l i / bur-NOO-lee; Swiss Standard German: [ˈdaːni̯eːl bɛrˈnʊli]; [1] 8 February [O.S. 29 January] 1700 – 27 March 1782 [2]) was a Swiss-French mathematician and physicist [2] and was one of the many prominent mathematicians in the Bernoulli family from Basel.

  7. Oceanic physical-biological process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_physical...

    Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid (frictionless) flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. [3] One result of Bernoulli's principle is that slower moving current has higher pressure.

  8. Shower-curtain effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower-curtain_effect

    The most popular explanation given for the shower-curtain effect is Bernoulli's principle. [1] Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in velocity results in a decrease in pressure. This theory presumes that the water flowing out of a shower head causes the air through which the water moves to start flowing in the same direction as the ...

  9. Talk:Bernoulli's principle/Archive 4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bernoulli's_principle...

    "In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow of a non-conducting fluid, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.[1][2] The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.[3]"
