The Bernoulli Principle

You will be introduced to the Bernoulli principle, which underpins modelling, as it ‘explains’ fluid behaviour.

The Bernoulli principle is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics that helps explain how fluids behave.

In this video, Duncan explains how the Bernoulli Principle forms a foundation of modelling fluids by describing the relationship between pressure, velocity, and energy in a flowing fluid.

In the next step, you will explore a practical application of Bernoulli and the role it plays with aircraft.
