Explanation

Bernoulli's principle states the relation between the velocity of the fluid and the static pressure. As the velocity of the speed increases, the static pressure drops, with a decrease in its potential energy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bernoulli's principle the real reason for the lift in an airfoil?

Yes, the Bernoulli's principle does contribute to the lift in an airfoil. But the most contributing factor for the lift would be due to Newtonian forces acting on it. However, there is a misconception in using the Bernoulli's principle in incorrect lift theories like the equal transit time theory.[1]
