Bernoulli's principle

The narrower the pipe section, the lower the pressure in the liquid or gas flowing through this section. This paradoxical fact, following from the law of conservation of energy, is called the Bernoulli principle or law.

I've just finished reading James Burke's superb book Connections, which I would recommend to anyone interested in the history of scientific ideas. In this book he explains how this principle was used to create carburettors, making possible the internal combustion engine and jet engines, and how the principle it could be used to measure the flow of a gas through a pipe. However, limited space only allowed him to give a brief overview of these things. The excellent demonstrations in your video make it easy to get my head around these concepts.

[@marcochimio]

The TV series Connections is superb, as well. I highly recommend it.

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

This phenomenon is one of the most mind- fucking results in all physics to me. The fact that blowing air with high pressure through a tube with a restriction causes the air to decrease in pressure at the restricted part is so counterintuitive. My brain just will not understand how increasing the space in which a fluid can flow causes the pressure of the fluid to increase and vice versa.

[@xdragon2k]

The interesting part is that if you close the system, when you blow, pressure increases. However, when you open so that the air can flow, the pressure decrease the faster it goes.

[@marymccluer1630]

Great demonstrations of Bernoulli's principle! Seeing the effect in action helps to understand it.

[@Observ45er]

Unfortunatly, it is WRONG. Please make corrections or remove it. .. The statements about Bernoulli's Principle are correct, but the demonstrations are very poor. The balls, spoon and funnel are a result of the Coanda effect. . The tube inserted into the wall of the neck is protruding into the flow (seen at time 2:57) This causes the air to curve around the end and sides of the tube. This curved flow is the cause of the lowered pressure. This will work with no pipe around it; just the air blowing across the vertical tube. .. To correctly measure the static pressure inside your narrow neck, the end of hat tube MUST be flush with the inside surface. .. At time 4:51 we see that the two pressure sensing tubes appear to be more like flush, but it is difficult to see clearly. For that to truly sense the static pressures, there must be NOTHING protruding into and disturbing the flow.

Comical. EVERY video on this topic has the exact same explanation: "narrower the pipe section, the lower the pressure" because equations . What happens is equations due to more equations . HOW does it work? By equations .

[@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440]

@@billshiff2060 Buddy, the equations explain exactly why this occurs. The velocity of the fluid increases as it travels from a wider region to a narrower region, as the work done by the fluid is down a pressure gradient. Therefore, the fluid must flow from a region of a higher cross-sectional area to a narrow cross-sectional area in order to increase its velocity, and this would naturally cause the pressure exerted by the fluid to decrease. Mathematical equations simply explain this phenomenon through variables instead of words.

[@billshiff2060]

@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 So your explanation is, it is caused "naturally" + equations. No mention of particle velocity, which IS the cause of pressure, is ~ mach 1.5 regardless of where it is and yet the pressure decreases in smaller passages.

[@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440]

@@billshiff2060 Are you saying that Bernoulli’s principle doesn’t work? I could use kinetic particle theory to explain it, but I instead focused on macroscopic observations and mathematical evaluation to explain this. Also, who told you that particle velocity remains the same? In fact, in a narrower section, the total number of collisions between particles and the container would decrease as the work done by the fluid occurs in the direction of movement. Thus, a pressure gradient must exist to ensure that there is an increase in kinetic energy in a narrower region.

The first demonstration (with the 2 balls) perfectly explains porpoising in Formula 1.

[@strumpeteer]

So... the two balls were "sucked" towards each other because the two balls created a small channel for air or water to pass, thus creating lower pressure compared surrounding space (atmospheric pressure). This lower pressure in this smaller channel creates a vaccum, pulling the balls together.

[@bernardfoot349]

Fascinating video. However, I am not sure that the ball hanging in the water coming from a tap is really demonstrating the Bernoulli principle. Firstly, the water is not being constrained to flow through a narrower channel - it is free to flow over the surface of the ball and so the cross section of the flow is probably not reduced. Secondly, if you look at the flow of water coming off the bottom of the ball, it is deflected to the right after it has flowed over the surface of the ball. Changing the direction of the water flow to the right causes a reactive force on the ball towards the left, and this is probably what makes the ball appear to cling to the water - the ball comes to a rest where this leftward force is balanced by the rightward force of the downward water flow pushing on the ball.

[@sylwiagotzman5422]

I agree that the ball in the running water was not explained right or enough. But I think they meant that the change in the pressure of AIR around the running water causes the movement of the ball, not the pressure of the water. For some years now I have wanted to know why the spoon is pulled by the running water. And to me it looks like the curved shape plays the major role. I doesn't happen when you rinse a knife.

The pressure reduction is due to the expanding exit and not the narrow part of the system. The width of the entry may not be important but the exit, the wide exit creates a sudden increased volume hence the reduced pressure. I would like to see the same experiment be done without the expanding exit and see if there will be any differences

[@Jonodrew1286]

An Air brush functions by a certain velocity of air passing laterally down a tube of said diameter - at a mid point down the tube is a T- piece with a pipe leading to a semi liquid media /paint source - A pressure is formed at the pipe perpendicular to the main pipe due to currents being generated by the air flowing through the lateral pipe. The flow of current in turn causes a vacuum at the pipe perpendicular to it. - With a carburettor this is called down-draft. Its basically a pressure created by many things travelling at speed - Aircraft, Cars, Speed Boats - - If you have wondered why if you leave your tail gate open you get chocked by exhaust fumes being sucked back into the car.

[@cibe86]

I have always had difficulty providing an intuitive explanation for this phenomenon, but if we try to think of pressure as potential energy rather than force per unit of surface area, perhaps the concept becomes a bit more intuitive. Or, imagine having a blown-up balloon. The balloon has a certain internal pressure. When the balloon is opened, the air inside the balloon starts to move faster. The internal pressure of the balloon then decreases because the potential energy of the air inside the balloon is converted into kinetic energy.

The seemingly stationary yet the active atmosphere around the two-ball system pushes the ball to come together when the air in between them is displaced.

[@charleswesley9907]

As the speed of the air increases the ball redirecting the air has a boundary layer that causes the air to follow the curved surface . Air has weight . The air is acting under the laws of Centrifugal force as it is held to the ball by the low pressure boundary layer and causes what we call lift. Air accelerated across a curved surface "wing" creates lift by the weight of the centrifugal force directly relative to the speed . The faster the wing through that air the faster the air has to move to follow the wings surface which creates centrifugal force by kinetic energy. A wing flying just above VSO can not be over stressed . But above VNO can be overstressed easily . More airspeed across the wing more centrifugal force the air creates on the boundary layer. Such an experiment if I remember correctly was conducted on an F16 wing with a porous top wing surface where more vacuum was introduced I would suppose to slow the stall break. Boundary layers lifts NOTHING . It is the area between the wings surface and the fluid movement of air which can not do anything above VSO but adhere to the upper wing surface curvature creating a vacuum across the wing . The blunt nose of the wing along with angle of incidence only accelerares that air. The Whittman wing for the Tail wind has a thin wing with a sharp leading edge thus high take off , stall and flying speed. Ultralights use a very rounded leading edge to compress the air flow across the wing this a low stall speed .

Hello. This is partially miss informative ! The Bernoulli theorem is challenging, but it kind of makes sense in a CLOSED system. You could think of it in lines of that you have roller coaster carts attached with springs. As they start rolling downhill the speed increases and the cart in front is pulling the spring to the next cart and vice versa. When they are slowing down uphill ... the springs compress (higher pressure) when the speed decreases. Now when you start blowing stuff in to the surrounding atmosphere it gets messy. The two spears getting drawn together, it is because of the coanda effect. The pointed jet sucks the surrounding air with it and creates a low pressure. NOT to do with Bernoullis principle. I know; It is complicated :). The ball hanging under the water flow, counter intuitive or not has to do with the coanda effect, i.e. water being sticky and curving around the ball, hens creating an opposite force to the curving acceleration. Oh well. Always have doubt, if your intuition says that something is not necessary so ;) .

[@MrNorthstar50]

You are right.

[@robertolin4568]

Finally someone pointed it out! There are so many misinterpretation regarding Bernoulli's Principle. It has rather strict assumptions for the fluid and the system (closed system, inviscid, incompressible, irrotational, no external force other than gravity etc.) and is not what people think it is. Another wide spread rumor is that lifting force of a plane can be explained by Bernoulli's Principle. It is so wrong that NASA specifically wrote an article titled "Incorrect Lift Theory" for it: www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/VirtualAero/BottleRocket/airplane/wrong1.html Most videos claiming to be showing Bernoulli's Principle are NOT doing it under correct assumptions. Sigh.

[@davidaugustofc2574]

Thank you for your effort, but you're assuming the surface is (or that it even could) pulling the air towards itself which is blatantly false, Coanda is a mere observation that air tends to follow the surfaces which is false as soon as flow separates, and it works on water because 1- surface tension and 2- water is much denser than air. All aerodynamics forces are pressure driven, like Newton on fluids, which is the correct way of visualising it.

[@mattcarter1797]

​@@davidaugustofc2574, the Coanda effect also occurs with air (not just water) flowing over a curved surface, and is the reason for the spheres being pulled together with air flowing in between and for the sphere being pulled into the water flow. The same result does not occur if you use cubes instead of spheres. Those experiments do not exemplify Bernoulli's Principle, which applies to a single fluid flow. It is the pressure difference that causes the velocity difference, not the other way around.

[@davidaugustofc2574]

@@mattcarter1797 My problem with the Coanda effect is that it is a gross oversimplification of the entire thing. You need to understand a little bit from several topics to understand what it really means, and those topics are more helpful than the conclusion. Air is mostly neutrally charged, as gas molecules usually are, so the external electron layers will repel each other, a gas would expand to Infinity if it had a chance and enough time. However, due to the local, gravitational effects from the Earth, the air is squeezed together, and the balance of those is the atmospheric (sometimes known as static) pressure. Gravity makes it so that pressure is very even for the same height all across the globe (temperature changes aside), so when a moving body is going through air and changing the pressure around itself, there will be a restoring force acting on the fluid to bring the new pressure value back to the original one. That is pressure will flow from high to low until there's negligible difference between the areas. When the air gets close the surface it's pushed away by the first layer, that's attached to the surface due to friction, and when the surface curves away from the direction of flow it forms low pressure pockets that will exert less force on the surface and nearby molecules that the air surrounding it, thus guiding the air towards the surface. (Greatly helps if you have a way of visualising it) And that's very simplified in it's own rights, since vorticity is a humongous topic on it's own, that I haven't even touched. I cannot understand how we're helping people by telling them about the Coanda effect and not the reasons behind it, you can't really learn anything from it. Okay, it was a great discovery for their time, but we're now at a stage where computers can generate airfoils from a set of requirements, we need to point out that air tends to follow surfaces and move on to deeper topics and not keep hanging on to it as explanation for anything.
