i understand there is a lot of aerodynamics here...but...can some one explain the aerodynamics in it?and how it creates differential pressure?

I'd actually like to see the discussion on this too.

I have a couple of ideas in mind and want to see if they match up.
 
i guess..it has very deep aerodynamics..and deals with complex fluid dynamics as well..can anyone explain me with aero or fluid dynamics?
 
thanks for the link andy,it gave me a good perspective to think.
