Does anyone have a diagram and/or explination of Bernouilli's principal of lift?
I STRONGLY advise you to follow Clausius2's suggestion of using pervect's link.xckycheezwhizx said:Does anyone have a diagram and/or explination of Bernouilli's principal of lift?
Bernoulli's principle of lift states that as the speed of a fluid (such as air) increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. This principle is used to explain how airplanes are able to generate lift and stay in the air.
Bernoulli's principle works by describing the relationship between the speed of a fluid and the pressure it exerts. As the speed of the fluid increases, the pressure decreases, creating an imbalance of forces that results in lift.
An airfoil is a specialized shape of a wing that is designed to create lift using Bernoulli's principle. The shape of the airfoil causes air to move faster over the top of the wing, creating a lower pressure and resulting in lift.
No, Bernoulli's principle can be applied to any fluid, not just air. It is commonly used to explain lift in airplanes, but it can also be observed in other situations such as how water moves over a dam or how a sailboat moves through water.
While Bernoulli's principle is a useful concept in understanding lift and other fluid dynamics, it does have limitations. It does not explain all aspects of flight and there are other factors, such as angle of attack and the shape of the airfoil, that also play a role in generating lift.
