Pascal’s Law

Pascal’s Law – The law that states that pressure applied anywhere to a body of fluid causes a force to be transmitted equally in all directions; the force acts at right angles to any surface in contact with the fluid.

Bernoulli’s Principle

Bernoulli’s Principle

Bernoulli’s Principle has a practical application in Aviation.Bernoulli’s Principle explains how the pressure of a moving fluid varies with its speed of motion. Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician, explained how the pressure of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) varies with its speed of motion. It states that as the velocity of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases

Magnus Effect

Magnus effect

   Magnus effect – The Magnus Effect is the lifting force produced when a rotating cylinder produces a pressure differential. This is the same effect that makes a baseball curve or a golf ball slice.      When a rotating cylinder or ball is spinning in a fluid, it creates a boundary layer around itself, and the boundary layer [...]
