Bernoulli effect

The Bernoulli effect describes how the speed of a fluid (like air or water) affects its pressure. When fluid moves faster over a surface, its pressure decreases; when it moves slower, pressure increases. This principle explains phenomena like an airplane wing generating lift: air flows faster over the curved top, creating lower pressure and lifting the wing upward. Similarly, spray bottles and venturi tubes operate based on this effect. Essentially, the Bernoulli effect highlights the inverse relationship between fluid speed and pressure, linking motion and force in fluids in a predictable way.
