The discussion centers on the relationship between pressure and velocity as described by Bernoulli's equation and the Venturi effect. Bernoulli's equation states that pressure decreases as velocity increases, while the Venturi effect indicates that the product of cross-sectional area and velocity remains constant (a1v1 = a2v2). Participants clarify that a larger pipe indeed has greater pressure, resolving any confusion regarding pressure and velocity dynamics in fluid mechanics.

There is no contradiction to resolve.Fizzizist said:what resolves this apparent contradiction?
You have this backwards. A larger pipe has greater pressure. That is why brain aneurysms are dangerousFizzizist said:The velocity slows as the cross sectional area increases, but a narrower pipe would have greater pressure?
