Bernoulli Equation Applications (pp. 220-232)¶
Recall from last time the equation of
steady (∂∂t=0)
inviscid (∂V∂y=0)
gravity vector is down (−z)
incompressible (ρ=constant)
irrotational (curl(V)=0)
Results in
p1ρg+V212g+z1=p2ρg+V222g+z2
Below are some examples illustrating its use
Example: How high will a fountain go?¶
Consider the fountains at a resort. What kind of pressures and velocities are required to make the show happen?
Here’s a related problem that could form the basis of fountain design.
