As Bernoulli Principle says, the fluid pressure decreases when speed increases. So if a river speeds up when it's narrowing down, the fluid pressure goes down.

What is bernoulli's princeiple?

If you mean Bernoulli's principle, it's the statement that an increase in the speed of a fluid produces a decrease in pressure and a decrease in the speed produces an increase in pressure.


Does speed increase or decrease as the pressure of a moving liquid increases?

for ideal fluid pv=nRT, so when pressure increase velocity decreases since vel. is inversly proportional to pressure....


How is fluid speed and fluid pressure related?

Fluid pressure decreases as speed increases. Bernoulli's principle states "as the speed of a moving fluid increases, it's pressure decreases.


How pressure changes as the velocity of a fluid increases?

If we assume that the fluid we are referring to is that of an ideal fluid (incompressible and non-viscous) and is undergoing a laminar flow, we can model this problem by Bernoulli's principle and equation. Bernoulli's principle states that if the above conditions are met, the energy density of a fluid must be a constant, fixed value. This means that if the velocity of a fluid increases, other factors must decrease for the energy density of a fluid must be conserved. Bernoulli's Equation is the sum of the magnitude of the pressure, kinetic energy and potential energy of a fluid is equal to a constant. Therefore, if a velocity of a fluid increases, the kinetic energy of the fluid increases. As a result, the pressure or the potential energy must decrease. Both or only one may change; the result is dependent on the situation.

What is fluid gradient?

Usually a fluid gradient refers to the pressure gradient in any kind of fluid. It is a quantity that shows which direction and how fast the pressure changes around a location.


What does Bernoulli's principles states?

What is pressure loss?

decrease in pressure from one point in a pipe or a duct to another point downstream of the fluid flow. It is due to frictional forces on a fluid that flow through a pipe or a duct
