Bernoulli principle fallacy
[edit]This article states that "Due to Bernoulli's principle, the faster-moving water [above the foot] has a lower pressure than the slower-moving water [below the foot]". I believe that this is a misapplication of Bernoulli's principle, and the principle actually does not apply here. As described at the Bernoulli's principle page, saying that "faster moving [fluid] has lower pressure" is a misleading statement of the principle. That article also states that "it is false to make a connection between the flow on the two sides of the paper [in a common demonstration] using Bernoulli’s equation since the air above and below are different flow fields and Bernoulli's principle only applies within a flow field". Presumably it is also just as false to make a connection between the flow of water on the two sides of the foot, since those are also two different flow fields. —Tanner Swett (talk) 03:12, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
