1. Venturi-style downstream velocity
Fluid mechanics studentBackground
A water flow has an upstream pressure of 200000 Pa and velocity of 2 m/s. The downstream pressure is 100000 Pa at the same elevation.
Problem
Calculate the downstream velocity using the Bernoulli equation.
How to use
Select velocity as the unknown, enter the water density and upstream values, then provide downstream pressure and elevation.

The calculated downstream velocity is approximately 14.2829 m/s. The result also reports upstream pressure, velocity, elevation, and total heads.
