Venturi Equation
The Venturi Equation simulation allows learners to explore the Venturi effect - the effect of a narrowing of a region of a horizontal pipe. The flow rate, ambient pressure, diameters, fluid density, and g value can be changed and the impact of such changes upon the pressure and flow velocity is immediately observable.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. The Physics Classroom has not yet prepared a student activity for this simulation.
