Cálculos com Bernoulli The calculation of the "real world" pressure in a constriction of a tube is difficult to do because of viscous losses, turbulence, and the assumptions which must be made about the velocity profile (which affect the calculated kinetic energy). The model calculation here assumes laminar flow (no turbulence), assumes that the distance from the larger diameter to the smaller is short enough that viscous losses can be neglected, and assumes that the velocity profile follows that of theoretical laminar flow. Specifically, this involves assuming that the effective flow velocity is one half of the maximum velocity, and that the average kinetic energy density is given by one third of the maximum kinetic energy density. Now if you can swallow all those assumptions, you can model* the flow in a tube where the volume flowrate is = cm^3/s and the fluid density is = gm/cm^3. For an inlet tube area = cm^2 (radius = cm), the geometry of flow leads to an effective fluid velocity of = cm/s. Since the Bernoulli equation includes the fluid potential energy as well, the height of the inlet tube is specified as = cm. If the area of the tube is constricted to = cm^2 (radius = cm), then without any further assumptions the effective fluid velocity in the constriction must be = cm/s. The height of the constricted tube is specified as = cm. The kinetic energy densities at the two locations in the tube can now be calculated, and the Bernoulli equation applied to constrain the process to conserve energy, thus giving a value for the pressure in the constriction. First, specify a pressure in the inlet tube: Inlet pressure = = kPa = lb/in^2 = mmHg = atmos. The energy densities can now be calculated. The energy unit for the CGS units used is the erg.

Airfoil
	The air across the top of a conventional airfoil must travel further than the air across the bottom. This causes a decrease in pressure on the top according to the Bernoulli equation and provides a lift force. Increasing the angle of attack gives a larger lift from the upward component of pressure on the bottom of the wing. This is the primary source of lift in most aircraft. At too high an angle of attack, the drag produced by turbulent flow will reduce the lift to the point of stalling the aircraft.
