This is equivalent to stating that there are no convective forces acting on the flowing fluid, i.e., the flow is in the laminar regime. Irrotational: The flow is defined as being irrotational everywhere. Note that this does not mean the fluid energy will be the same everywhere this will depend on the velocity field. Incompressible: The fluid density appears in Bernoulli’s principle, but the fluid density is assumed constant for all streamlines. Steady flow: Bernoulli’s principle only applies to steady flows, as unsteady flows would require the addition or dissipation of energy in the fluid by an external force. There is a simple form of Bernoulli’s equation that can be derived from Euler’s equations describing certain types of flows: What Is Bernoulli’s Principle?īernoulli’s principle is essentially a statement regarding the conservation of energy in a flowing fluid, and it defines the conservation of mechanical energy for all streamlines that make up the flow. As we’ll see in the next section, Bernoulli’s principle is something of a universal relation involving certain types of flows.
That being said, there are some applications or examples of fluid flow that can be best explained and understood using Bernoulli’s principle. Bernoulli’s principle is an explanatory tool that describes why fluid behavior occurs in certain ways-it is not really a design tool. Systems engineers do not necessarily use Bernoulli’s principle as the basis for designing systems that rely on fluid flow. Are There Applications of Bernoulli’s Principle? To see where applications of Bernoulli’s principle can be treated with the standard form, we’ll look at a few common fluid flow situations that illustrate the applicability of this universal relation. This simple relationship defines a range of flow behavior for ideal fluids, but many real systems can be approximated in such a way that Bernoulli’s principle is relevant. Some relations from fluid dynamics are universal, and one of these is Bernoulli’s principle. More complex flow behavior can be explained with modified versions of Bernoulli’s principle. Some common applications of Bernoulli’s principle are its use to explain flow behavior in simple systems. Bernoulli’s principle is a universal relation describing flow behavior for ideal fluids.
