What Bernoulli's equation really says is that fluid flow has three forms for its energy and that as long as that fluid flow flows smoothly and without significant friction through a system of stationary obstacles, the sum of those three energies can't change. The three energies are kinetic energy (the energy of motion), gravitational potential energy, and an energy associated with pressure that may be called pressure potential energy. The obstacles must remain stationary so that they can't do work on the fluid flow and thus change its total energy. Since the sum of those three energies doesn't change as fluid flow flows through a stationary environment, its pressure typically falls whenever its speed rises and vice versa. If the fluid flow also changes altitude significantly, then gravitational potential energy must be included in these energy exchanges. |

Pressure on a body of fluid is created by molecules bouncing off each other. Just
like a ball hitting and pushing
a sheet hanging on a clothes line. If there less pressure on one side of a body of fluid, then the molecules head
in the direction of least resistance.
