  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. Airfoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfoil

    The air deflected by an airfoil causes it to generate a lower-pressure "shadow" above and behind itself. This pressure difference is accompanied by a velocity difference, via Bernoulli's principle, so the resulting flowfield about the airfoil has a higher average velocity on the upper surface than on the lower surface. [5]

  4. Foil (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_(fluid_mechanics)

    If the fluid is a gas, the foil is called an airfoil or aerofoil, ... This pressure difference is accompanied by a velocity difference, via Bernoulli's principle, ...

  5. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

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

    A serious flaw common to all the Bernoulli-based explanations is that they imply that a speed difference can arise from causes other than a pressure difference, and that the speed difference then leads to a pressure difference, by Bernoulli's principle. This implied one-way causation is a misconception.

  6. Computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics

    Bernoulli equation: Start with the EE. Assume that density variations depend only on pressure variations. [49] See Bernoulli's Principle. Steady Bernoulli equation: Start with the Bernoulli Equation and assume a steady flow. [49] Or start with the EE and assume that the flow is steady and integrate the resulting equation along a streamline. [47 ...

  7. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    In other carburetors ambient air pressure can be fed to the float bowl, in which case the effect comes from Bernoulli's principle. Cylinder heads in piston engines have multiple Venturi areas like the valve seat and the port entrance, although these are not part of the design intent, merely a byproduct and any venturi effect is without specific ...

  8. High-speed flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_flight

    Subsonic aerodynamic theory also assumes the effects of viscosity (the property of a fluid that tends to prevent motion of one part of the fluid with respect to another) are negligible, and classifies air as an ideal fluid, conforming to the principles of ideal-fluid aerodynamics such as continuity, Bernoulli's principle, and circulation. In ...

  9. Wind tunnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_tunnel

    Air speed through the test section is determined by Bernoulli's principle. The direction of airflow around a model is shown by fluttering tufts of yarn attached to the aerodynamic surfaces. The direction of airflow approaching and leaving a surface can be seen by mounting tufts in the airflow in front of and behind the model.
