Hi boneh3ad
Your discussion on Bernoulli Equation was very impressive and helped me a lot to understand this rather complicated equation. I have a question which puzzles me a lot when I want to solve it using Bernoulli equation.
Here is the statement.
" If there is some fluid flowing thru a pipe and it develops a leak, the fluid starts oozing out of it. If this pipe is in some ditch and the fluid keeps collecting in the ditch and finally covers the whole pipe upto some height, then according to Bernoulli equation, there should not be any further leakage. The velocity being higher inside the pipe will cause low pressure inside than outside and the fluid will leak back to the pipe."
But this does not happen. I am sure I am mistaken somewhere. Please guide on this.
Regards
Zahid
