La forma correcta de utilizar la
ecuación de Bernoulli
rEsumEn
La ecuación de Bernoulli es un caso determinado de un problema
del ujo de uido. Se deben cumplir algunas restricciones para
aplicar correctamente esta ecuación en particular. El ujo del
uido debe considerarse no viscoso, incompresible, estable e
irrotacional. Sin embargo, si el ujo del uido es rotacional, la
ecuación de Bernoulli aún puede aplicarse siempre y cuando los
puntos de interés estén en la misma línea de corriente del ujo.
Aquí, nos enfocaremos en demostrar que, en el caso de un ujo
de uido rotacional, los puntos de interés deben encontrarse
en la misma línea de corriente del ujo y por esta razón, sí se
podría continuar con el uso de la ecuación de Bernoulli. El
principio solo es aplicable a los ujos isentrópicos: cuando los
efectos de los procesos irreversibles (e.g. turbulencia, fricción) y
los procesos no adiabáticos (e.g. la radiación de calor, difusión
de masa) son pequeños y pueden despreciarse.

Bernoullis equation is a certain case of a uid ow problem.
Some restrictions must be met in order to correctly apply this
particular equation. e uid ow must be considered inviscid,
incompressible, steady and irrotational. However, if the uid
ow is rotational, Bernoulli`s equation can still be applicable
as long as the points of interest are on the same streamline
of the uid ow. Here, we will focus on demonstrate that,
in the case of a rotational uid ow, the points of interest
must be on the same streamline and because of that, it can
be proceeding with the usage of Bernoulli`s equation. e
principle is only applicable for isentropic uid ows: when the
eects of irreversible processes (e.g. turbulence, friction) and
non-adiabatic processes (e.g. heat radiation, mass diusion) are
small and can be neglected.

Inroduction
Various forms of Bernoullis equation
can be modeled because of the existence of
various types of uid ow, and therefore
Bernoullis principle can be applied
too. Bernoullis principle states that,
an increase in the speed of a uid ow
occurs simultaneously with a decrease in
internal pressure. e principle is named
after Daniel Bernoulli published it in his
book Hydrodynamic in 1738. Although,
Bernoulli deduced that pressure decreases
when the ow speed increases, it was
Leonhard Euler who derived Bernoullis
equation in its usual form in 1752. All
in all, there is a correct way of using
Bernoulli`s equation with condence and
which is briey described to continuation.
e law that explained the
phenomenon from the energy
conservation point of view was found
in his Hydrodynamic work. Later, Euler
deduced an equation for an inviscid
ow (assuming that viscosity was
insignicant) from which Bernoullis
equation arises naturally when
considering a stationary case subjected
to a conservative gravitational eld.
Discussion
To arrive at Bernoulli`s equation,
certain assumptions had to be made
which limit us the level of applicability.
According to Euler equation Eq. 1,
dened by Anderson, Jr. (1989), it gives
the variation of pressure with respect to

INTRODUCTION
Various forms of Bernoulli's equation can be modeled because of the existence
of various types of fluid flow, and therefore Bernoulli's principle can be applied too.
Bernoulli's principle states that, an increase in the speed of a fluid flow occurs
simultaneously with a decrease in internal pressure. The principle is named after
Daniel Bernoulli published it in his book Hydrodynamic in 1738. Although, Bernoulli
deduced that pressure decreases when the flow speed increases, it was Leonhard
Euler who derived Bernoulli's equation in its usual form in 1752. All in all, there is a
correct way of using Bernoulli`s equation with confidence and which is briefly
described to continuation.
The law that explained the phenomenon from the energy conservation point of
view was found in his Hydrodynamic work. Later, Euler deduced an equation for an
inviscid flow (assuming that viscosity was insignificant) from which Bernoulli’s equation
arises naturally when considering a stationary case subjected to a conservative
gravitational field.
DISCUSSION
To arrive at Bernoulli`s equation, certain assumptions had to be made which
limit us the level of applicability. According to Euler equation Eq. 1, defined by
Anderson, Jr. (1989), it gives the variation of pressure with respect to speed variation,
ignoring shear forces (inviscid fluid flow) and body forces (weight of the air fluid particle
is ignored). Only pressure forces were considered.

2. Steady ow
To see further how mass conservation
places restrictions on the velocity eld,
consider a steady uid ow. at is, for
a relatively low speed ow, the pressure
variations are suciently small, and
because of this, the density change is
also small that can be assumed to be
constant and so, the density of the
uid ow does not vary with time.
3. Incompressible
Since density change is very small for
low velocity airows, it can be assumed
to be constant. One way to proof this,
is by verifying if we are dealing with
low velocity airows. As a rule of
thumb, if its mach number is lower
than 0,3 or has a velocity less than 300
ft/s or 100 m/s (or approximately 200
mph), then the velocity airow can
be assumed to be small and treated as
incompressible Anderson, (1989) and
Anderson (2003):
Where:
V is the ow velocity

4. Remember that shear forces (friction) and body forces (gravity) were ignored
to get Eq. (1). But in the case where conservative body forces are considered like
gravity, Bernoulli`s equation would include an extra term ρgh as shown in Eq. (5).
In many applications of Bernoulli`s equation, the change in the term ρgh (change in
potential energy) along the streamline flow is so small in comparison to the other
terms that it can be ignored. For example, in the case of an aircraft in flight, the
change in height “h” along a streamline flow is so small that the term ρgh can be
disregarded.

Eq. (13) shows that the given ow
velocity eld satisfy the continuity
equation. Second, we need to nd out if
the given ow velocity eld is rotational
or irrotational.
Evaluating the partial derivatives of
equations (8) and (9) yield equations
(14) and (15) respectively.
(14)
(15)
Substituting equations (14) and (15)
into Eq. (7) yields:
It is clear that, the given velocity ow
eld is rotational. So, that means that we
can still use Bernoulli`s eq. only if the two
given points are on the same streamline.
So, we need to identify the streamline by
using the 2D streamline Eq. (16) dened
by Bertin and Smith (1998):

Solving this equation for the given
velocity components shown in equations
(8) and (9) one nds that
and
Since this equation is a point function,

term shear stress, . We must understand that, there are no real fluids for which
viscosity is zero. But, there are many real cases where this product is sufficiently
small that, the shear stress term, can be ignored when compared to other terms in
the governing equations as described by Bertin and Smith (1998).

5. Inviscid Flow: The product of viscosity times shear velocity gradient defines the
term shear stress, . We must understand that, there are no real fluids for which
viscosity is zero. But, there are many real cases where this product is sufficiently
small that, the shear stress term, can be ignored when compared to other terms in
the governing equations as described by Bertin and Smith (1998).
6. Irrotational flow. If the 2D flow contains no singularities, then the Vorticity Vector
in Eq. (6) for irrotational flow must be zero as defined by Bertin and Smith (1998).

streamline in the fluid flow is Pa.
CONCLUSION
Throughout this paper, the correct way of using Bernoulli`s equation has been shown.
Initially, it has been presented some assumptions for which this equation is valid to
apply. These assumptions led to a set of restrictions that must be met in order to apply
correctly this equation. However, during the process of the application of Bernoulli`s
equation, the analyst has to be sure which restrictions apply for the particular case.
According to this, the results must be presented in a similar way as it was done in this
paper like the pressure difference between the two points on the same streamline.

Conclusion
roughout this paper, the correct way
of using Bernoulli`s equation has been
shown. Initially, it has been presented
some assumptions for which this equation
is valid to apply. ese assumptions led
to a set of restrictions that must be met
in order to apply correctly this equation.
However, during the process of the
application of Bernoulli`s equation, the
analyst has to be sure which restrictions
apply for the particular case. According
to this, the results must be presented in
a similar way as it was done in this paper
like the pressure dierence between the
two points on the same streamline.
