 Bernoulli's Principle
Bernoulli's principle thus says that a rise (fall) in pressure in a flowing fluid must always be accompanied by a decrease (increase) in the speed, and conversely, if an increase (decrease) in, the speed of the fluid results in a decrease (increase) in the pressure.
Another example of Bernoulli's principle at work is in the lift of aircraft wings and the motion of ``curve balls'' in baseball.
In both cases the design is such as to create a speed differential of the flowing air past the object on the top and the bottom - for aircraft wings this comes from the movement of the flaps, and for the baseball it is the presence of ridges.

Bernoulli received generous payment from de l'Hôpital for these lessons, and indeed they were worth a lot for few other people would have been able to have given them.
Bernoulli's course is virtually identical with de l'Hôpital's book but it is worth pointing out that de l'Hôpital had corrected a number of errors such as Bernoulli's mistaken belief that the integral of 1/x is infinite.
Bernoulli also made important contributions to mechanics with his work on kinetic energy, which, not surprisingly, was another topic on which mathematicians argued over for many years.

 Bernoulli. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
One of the chief developers both of the ordinary calculus and of the calculus of variations, he was the first to use the word integral in solving Leibniz’s problem of the isochronous curve.
He was succeeded at Basel by his brother, Johann, Jean, or John Bernoulli, 1667–1748, who earlier had been professor at Gröningen and who was famous for his work in the field of integral and exponential calculus and was also a founder of the calculus of variations.
His greatest work was his Hydrodynamica (1738), which included the principle now known as Bernoulli’s principle, and anticipated the law of conservation of energy and the kinetic-molecular theory of gases developed more than 100 years later.

BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLE [Bernoulli's principle] physical principle formulated by Daniel Bernoulli that states that as the speed of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.
The phenomenon described by Bernoulli's principle has many practical applications; it is employed in the carburetor and the atomizer, in which air is the moving fluid, and in the aspirator, in which water is the moving fluid.
Bernoulli's principle can be explained in terms of the law of conservation of energy (see conservation laws, in physics).

 Bernoulli and Newton
The proponents of the arguments usually fall into two camps: (1) those who support the "Bernoulli" position that lift is generated by a pressure difference across the wing, and (2) those who support the "Newton" position that lift is the reaction force on a body caused by deflecting a flow of gas.
Bernoulli also worked in many areas of mathematics and physics and had a degree in medicine.
Bernoulli's equation, which was named for Daniel Bernoulli, relates the pressure in a gas to the local velocity; so as the velocity changes around the object, the pressure changes as well.

 Bernoulli Equation: Derivation for Compressible Flow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In nearly all elementary treatments of the Bernoulli equation, the flow is taken to be incompressible, i.e., the fluid density is taken to be a constant.
With respect to the Bernoulli equation, the main difference between a compressible and incompressible flow is that the variations in the pressure in a compressible flow will result in compressions and expansions of the fluid blob as it moves along its own path.
An alternate approach to the derivation of the Bernoulli equation for compressible flow is to ignore the mechanical energy principle used for incompressible flow and to rederive the full energy equation from first principles.

 Introduction on Bernoulli's numbers
Bernoulli's numbers play an important and quite mysterious role in mathematics and in various places like analysis, number theory and differential topology.
Perhaps one of the most important result is Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, where Bernoulli's numbers are contained and which allows to accelerate the computation of slow converging series (see the essay on Euler's constant at [9]).
According to Louis Saalschültz [17], the term Bernoulli's numbers was used for the first time by Abraham De Moivre (1667-1754) and also by Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) in 1755.

 Bernoulli's Equation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This form of Bernoulli's Equation applies to steady irrotational flow, and the constant is really a constant throughout the volume of irrotational flow.
The second form of Bernoulli's Equation arises from the fact that in steady flow the particles of fluid move along fixed streamlines, as on rails, and are accelerated and decelerated by the forces acting tangent to the sreamlines.
Bernoulli himself took an equivalent approach, although the concept of energy was not well-developed in his time.

In the demo graph under the Bernoulli's Principle Animation, the red shading corresponds to the static pressure, and the blue shading corresponds to the dynamic pressure.
If Bernoulli's Equation is applied to a small volume of fluid, then each term in that equation can be multiplied by the volume V. This transforms Bernoulli's Equation into an "energy equation", where each term corresponds to some type of energy (potential, kinetic or pressure).
Bernoulli's Equation may also be derived using the conservation of energy.

 Bernoulli's Principle
Bernoulli's Principle is a physical phenomenon that was named after the Swiss scientist Daniel Bernoulli who lived during the eighteenth century.
Bernoulli studied the relationship of the speed of a fluid and pressure.
The principle states that "the pressure of a fluid [liquid or gas] decreases as the speed of the fluid increases." Within the same fluid (air in the example of aircraft moving through air), high-speed flow is associated with low pressure, and low-speed flow is associated with high pressure.

 Aeronautics - Principles of Flight (BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLE)
Daniel Bernoulli, an eighteenth-century Swiss scientist, discovered that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases.
Bernoulli's principle applies to any fluid, and since air is a fluid, it applies to air.
Many believe that this use of Bernoulli's principle to explain lift is incorrect because flat wings (such as seen on balsa wood airplanes, paper planes and others) also have managed to create lift.

 Bernoulli
Bernoulli's equation is only valid if one assumes the following: incompressible fluid (fluid velocity less than one third the speed of sound) and inviscid flow (this just means that the point in question along the flow is going to be away from where the flow and the object come into contact).
It is best to look at an actual example in order to obtain a better understanding of the Bernoulli's equation as well as the continuity or momentum equation.
Many believe that this explanation about the correlation of Bernoulli's principle and lift is incorrect because flat wings (such as seen on balsa wood airplanes, paper planes and others) also have managed to create lift.

 Pressure
The qualitative behavior that is usually labeled with the term "Bernoulli effect" is the lowering of fluid pressure in regions where the flow velocity is increased.
This is commonly interpreted as an application of the Bernoulli principle and involves the viscosity of the air and the boundary layer of air at the surface of the ball.
The Bernoulli equation cannot really be used to predict the amount of curve of the ball; the flow of the air is compressible, and you can't track the density changes to quantify the change in effective pressure.
