Fluid dynamics Bernoulli equation

Flow through chokes and nozzles is a special case of fluid dynamics. For incompressible fluids the problem can be handled by mass conservation and Bernoulli s equation. Bernoulli s equation is solved for the pressure drop across the choke, assuming that the velocity of approach and the vertical displacement are negligible. The velocity term is replaced by the volumetric flow rate times the area at the choke throat to yield... 

Sir Isaac Newton put forth his three laws in the l700 s. These laws play a fundamental part in many branches of science, including fluid dynamics. In addition to the term hydrodynamics, Bernoulli s contribution to fluid dynamics was the realization that pressure decreases as velocity increases. This understanding is essential to the understanding of lift. Leonhard Euler, the father of fluid dynamics, is considered by many to be the preeminent mathematician of the eighteenth century. He is the one who derived what is today known as the Bernoulli equation from the work of Daniel Bernoulli. Euler also developed equations for inviscid flows. These equations were based on his own work and are still used for compressible and incompressible fluids.
