Bernoulli's principle
Sign in to saveAlso known as Bernoulli's equation
principle relating to fluid dynamics
Bernoulli's principle is a fundamental rule in fluid dynamics stating that as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure it exerts decreases, and vice versa. This principle matters because it explains how many everyday things work, from how airplanes generate lift to how water flows through pipes more efficiently at certain speeds.
