  2. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, density, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a parcel of fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in either the pressure or the height above a datum. [ 1 ] :

  3. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    Streamlines are closer spaced immediately above the cylinder than below, so the air flows faster past the upper surface than past the lower surface. Bernoulli’s principle shows that the pressure adjacent to the upper surface is lower than the pressure adjacent to the lower surface. The Magnus force acts vertically upwards on the cylinder. [14]

  4. 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 ...

    It's time for another fun science experiment at Clark Planetarium. This time we're levitating.

  6. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    Dynamic pressure is one of the terms of Bernoulli's equation, which can be derived from the conservation of energy for a fluid in motion. [1] At a stagnation point the dynamic pressure is equal to the difference between the stagnation pressure and the static pressure, so the dynamic pressure in a flow field can be measured at a stagnation point ...

  7. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

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

    Producing a lift force requires both downward turning of the flow and changes in flow speed consistent with Bernoulli's principle. Each of the simplified explanations given above in Simplified physical explanations of lift on an airfoil falls short by trying to explain lift in terms of only one or the other, thus explaining only part of the ...

  8. Diffuser (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(thermodynamics)

    Frictional effects during analysis can sometimes be important, but usually they are neglected. Ducts containing fluids flowing at low velocity can usually be analyzed using Bernoulli's principle. Analyzing ducts flowing at higher velocities with Mach numbers in excess of 0.3 usually require compressible flow relations. [2]

  9. Torricelli's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_law

    Under the assumptions of an incompressible fluid with negligible viscosity, Bernoulli's principle states that the hydraulic energy is constant + + = + + = at any two points in the flowing liquid.
