  2. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Although Bernoulli deduced that pressure decreases when the flow speed increases, it was Leonhard Euler in 1752 who derived Bernoulli's equation in its usual form. [4] [5] Bernoulli's principle can be derived from the principle of conservation of energy. This states that, in a steady flow, the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid is the same ...

  3. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

  4. Bernoulli differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Bernoulli_differential_equation

    In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation is called a Bernoulli differential equation if it is of the form ′ + = (), where is a real number.Some authors allow any real , [1] [2] whereas others require that not be 0 or 1.

  5. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    The integration of the Euler equations along a streamline in an inviscid flow yields Bernoulli's equation. When, in addition to being inviscid, the flow is irrotational everywhere, Bernoulli's equation can completely describe the flow everywhere.

  6. Siphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

    Apply Bernoulli's equation to the surface of the upper reservoir. The surface is technically falling as the upper reservoir is being drained. However, for this example we will assume the reservoir to be infinite and the velocity of the surface may be set to zero. Furthermore, the pressure at both the surface and the exit point C is atmospheric ...

  7. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    A solution of the potential equation directly determines only the velocity field. The pressure field is deduced from the velocity field through Bernoulli's equation. Comparison of a non-lifting flow pattern around an airfoil; and a lifting flow pattern consistent with the Kutta condition in which the flow leaves the trailing edge smoothly

  8. Stagnation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_Pressure

    The Bernoulli equation applicable to incompressible flow shows that the stagnation pressure is equal to the dynamic pressure and static pressure combined. [1]: § 3.5 In compressible flows, stagnation pressure is also equal to total pressure as well, provided that the fluid entering the stagnation point is brought to rest isentropically.

  9. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    The problem of potential compressible flow over circular cylinder was first studied by O. Janzen in 1913 [4] and by Lord Rayleigh in 1916 [5] with small compressibility effects. Here, the small parameter is the square of the Mach number M 2 = U 2 / c 2 ≪ 1 {\displaystyle \mathrm {M} ^{2}=U^{2}/c^{2}\ll 1} , where c is the speed of sound .
