Bernoulli Flow
This interactive simulator explores Bernoulli Flow in Classical Mechanics. Pipe narrows: speed up, pressure down. Continuity + Bernoulli. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Classical Mechanics.

How it works
Ideal **horizontal** flow: **A₁v₁ = A₂v₂** (continuity). **Bernoulli:** **P + ½ρv²** is constant along a streamline at constant height. In a **narrow** segment **v** increases, so **static pressure P** **decreases** — the Venturi / airplane-wing effect in a nutshell. The canvas shows **steady** v₁, v₂ and P; **animated dots** only illustrate the flow direction and that parcels move faster where the pipe is narrow (same volume flux, different speed).
