Bernoulli's principle

Definition

Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a moving fluid increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa. It describes the relationship between fluid velocity and pressure in a streamline flow.

Lift: In aerodynamics, lift is the upward force generated on an object (such as an airplane wing) due to differences in air pressure.

Streamline flow: Streamline flow refers to smooth and orderly movement of fluid particles along parallel paths with no turbulence or mixing.
