1. Overview Continuity equation explains why airflow on top of a
wing is faster than the airflow underneath the wing.
Once understanding Continuity, Bernoullis equation explains: Pressure on top of a wing is lower than the pressure
underneath the wing.
Bernoullis equation is based on the conservation of energy principle.
2. Conservation of Energy Bernoulli based on CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
principle. Energy level of a system remains constant
Energy neither created nor destroyed
Total energy TE = potential energy PE + kinetic energy KE = constant
TE = PE + KE = constant
Kinetic and Potential Energy
3. Static Pressure in Airflow is Potential Energy
Bernoulli transformed the general conservation of energy equation into airflow terms. In airflow, potential energy is static pressure.
PE = static pressure = Ps = p.
4. Dynamic Pressure in Airflow is Kinetic Energy
KE = dynamic pressure= PD = q.
= air density in slugs per cu. ft
v = true airspeed (TAS) velocity in fps
5. Total Pressure in Airflow is TOTAL ENERGY
TE = Total pressure, or H (head pressure) Pitot tube pitot head measuring total pressure
TE = total pressure = PT = H
Head pressure.
Pitot head pressure.
6. Bernoullis Equation Bernoullis Equation for conservation of energy in
subsonic airflow
Note: With no density changes, i.e., subsonic, constant
altitude, and are constant. So in qualitative terms, Bernoulli says that if the velocity increases, the pressure decreases and vice versa. This is the same as saying kinetic energy increases then potential energy decreases and vice versa.
7. Bernoullis Equation Applied to a venturi tube
In the venturi tube below, unlike the tubes previosuly drawn, the divergent area A3 is greater than the initial area A1.
