I don't think anyone is saying it can't happen.

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

I can see how, following cavity collapse, there can be a negative pressure transient of 20MPa, but that would be measured relative to...

Agreed. I think that in certain specific/limited/contrived circumstances it is likely to be possible for a given small wind turbine to...

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

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

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

Right. And these are forms of energy: kinetic energy increases, pressure energy decreases. That's the energy that gets traded from one...

So then what does the equation say is going on? It can be overlooked if it's irrelevant to the topic we were discussing.

I'd like for @T C to answer the question based on the incompressible flow form of Bernoulli's equation provided in Post #42.

I don't think this is very useful for low flow velocity situations, where the temperature and density changes are negligible and...

Those colors don't make any sense to me, given the streamline compression. & @256bits here's what AHRAE Fundamentals says (I'm trying...

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

That is a consequence in certain situations of Bernoulli's equation. It is not Bernoulli's equation.

Is this your understanding if flow around a house, building, mostly low rise? The reference given in the post 17 shows that flow around...
