Aero engineers in flight control design or stability and control use it heavily.

@A.T. T Great article, where did you find it. I think a speedup is implied already for flow over an obstacle, such as a building...

Would that be true in the steady state flow or only in turbulence? Some diagrams here seem to indicate reduced velocity everywhere yet...

If you google "optimal placement wind turbine hill" or similar, you will find more information on exploiting obstacles to improve wind...

I might also mention, but not teach, the z-transform. It's essentially the Laplace equivalent for discrete time systems; digital...

It is THE main tool for linear systems analysis (often non-linear systems too). Analog circuit design, filter design, control systems...

The streamline figures in post 27 can be somewhat deceiving at first glance. The streamline figure spacing is shown compressed, rather...

There are other things going on. Please try to understand Bernoulli's equation, which gives the trade-off between pressure and velocity.

Yes. So that is where the velocity can come from -- decreased pressure. This just means that the random directional movement of atoms...

Sorry. I stand corrected. I was thinking about incompressible fluid flow. Thanks.

I don't think that's the right interpretation. The flow-speed plots in fig. 6 of my post #26 show lower speeds (blue) everywhere around...

I disagree. IMO, most of the explanations compare a "stationary" light clock to a "moving" light clock. The experimental result that the...

Good point. I think that is the unexpressed question of the OP. The diagrams that @renormalize included in post #27 seems to indicate...

Please look at the standard form of Bernoulli's equation @FactChecker provided and tell us what you see the answer is. You've been...

The Bernouilli equation that one mostly sees, and the one that is presented as an introduction to fluid flow, is of the form in post 42...
