![]() fluid. In the picture to the left, the gas in the smaller tube moves faster and creates lower pressure, letting the higher pressure large tube push the liquid below. In the straw to the right, the fast stream of air over the straw pulls the water up into its low pressure zone. This can be observed in chimney smoke floating up. |
![]() |
![]() In the picture to the left, as the flow narrows, the fluid speeds up and pressure is lower. In rapids on the right, the fast stream slows as the river widens and pressure goes up. |

Modern wings are shaped to create lift. Many books wrongly use Bernoulli's principle to explain lift. See NASA explanation. Lift is an upward force on an object in a moving fluid. |
![]() |
![]() When a moving fluid changes direction, high and low pressure zones are created. As river water hits the front of the rock, it piles up in a high pressure zone. Behind the rock a low pressure hole forms. Whitewater rafters and kayakers use these holes to rest up. |
