The thing is a lot of people have taken "Bernoulli" to mean "equal time of passage" (a completely made-up, non-physical phenomenon) rather than the quite valid Bernoulli equation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli%27s_principle#Incompressible_flow_equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli%27s_principle#Incomp.... In reality Bernoulli, Newton, and Kutta are just multiple correct abstractions for turning the flow.
- jessaustin 11y agoYou're right, of course. However, the various explanations are suited to different audiences. An aerospace engineer knows everything she needs to know about all of these tools, so she just uses whatever is best suited to a particular situation. For explanation to a general audience who know about force and momentum because they've already seen Newton in other situations, why even bring up "pressure"? I suspect this came about when some dumbass said "well everyone knows about pressure because car tires".
