The faster flow at the upper side of the wing is the consequence of low pressure and not its cause | One problem with this explanation can be seen by blowing along the bottom of the paper: were the deflection due simply to faster moving air one would expect the paper to deflect downward, but the paper deflects upward regardless of whether the faster moving air is on the top or the bottom |

This is because the air on the two sides of the paper did not start out from the same source.
15are small and can be neglected | However, we must be careful, because seemingly-small changes in the wording can lead to completely wrong conclusions |

Again, the derivation depends upon 1 conservation of mass, and 2 conservation of energy | An exception to this rule is radiative shocks, which violate the assumptions leading to the Bernoulli equation, namely the lack of additional sinks or sources of energy |
The flow speed of a fluid can be measured using a device such as a or an , which can be placed into a pipeline to reduce the diameter of the flow.
9Many books attribute this to the lowering of the air pressure on top solely to the Bernoulli effect | 12 It is reasonable to assume that irrotational flow exists in any situation where a large body of fluid is flowing past a solid body |

They are then asked to believe that Bernoulli's theorem is responsible.
