Giovanni Battista Venturi

Giovanni Battista Venturi was an Italian physicist and mathematician known for his work in fluid dynamics. He studied how fluids, like water or air, flow through different shapes and obstacles. Venturi is best known for discovering the Venturi effect, which shows that when a fluid passes through a narrow opening, its speed increases and pressure drops. This principle is vital in various technologies, such as carburetors and medical devices like ventilators. Venturi's work helped improve understanding of fluid behavior, influencing engineering and scientific applications related to fluid flow.
