... Fluid velocity (v) = √2/[total pressure – static pressure] The total pressure is measured by the pressure head h2 and the static pressure by pressure head h1. Therefore the formula may be written: Fluid velocity (v) = √2g[h2 – h1] Torricelli’s theorem This theorem applies to a fluid flowing from a ...

... Benefit of Streamlining Pressure drag is greatly reduced by preventing flow separation using a gradually tapering tail. Though skin friction increases with larger area, the total drag is much less. Hence streamlined bodies are made of smooth surfaces to reduce skin friction. These objects have app ...

Lift (force)
A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the surface force parallel to the flow direction. If the fluid is air, the force is called an aerodynamic force. In water, it is called a hydrodynamic force.
