The Bernoulli Effect BY: HANNAH ARNER History of the Bernoulli Effect In 1738, a brilliant mathematician by the name of Daniel Bernoulli came up with a theory. His ideas have been named Bernoulli’s principle, the Bernoulli effect, and Bernoulli’s law. Daniel Bernoulli published the book Hydrodynamica, where he presented his theory. The Bernoulli Principle…what is it? Officially, Bernoulli’s Principle is a statement of relationship between flow speed and pressure in a fluid system Bernoulli's principle states that fluids in an area moving faster than the surrounding area possess less pressure. Fastermoving fluid lower pressure than the rest of its surroundings. **Important note** Fluids include liquids and gasses. Air is a gas and as such is classified as a fluid. Clicker Question! 1. When talking about Bernoulli’s Principle, the term fluids (or fluid system) refers to… A) Liquids only B) Gases only C) Liquids and Gases D) Liquids and Solids The Bernoulli Effect in the Real World Clicker Question! 2. Airplanes are a good example of a real world application of the Bernoulli Effect. What lifts the wings of the airplane upwards? A) Turbo rockets B) High air pressure beneath the wings paired with low air pressure above them C) Wind D) Low air pressure beneath the wings paired with high air pressure above them Ping Pong Ball Demonstration!!!!!!
