The popular explanation of lift is common, quick, sounds logical and gives the correct answer, yet also introduces misconceptions, uses a nonsensical physical argument and misleadingly invokes Bernoulli's equation. A simple analysis of pressure gradients and the curvature of streamlines is presented here to give a more correct explanation of lift.

How do wings generate lift?

How lift is generated by a moving wing is understood satisfactorily. But the rigorous explanation requires elaborate theoretical background, and hence there are many simpler explanations in the…

How do wings generate lift?

A cambered surface that is moving forward in a fluid generates lift. To explain this interesting fact in terms of simpler models, some preparatory concepts were discussed in the first part of this…

Simple apparatus for demonstrating factors that influence lift and drag

Although the inaccurate explanation of lift based solely on the Bernoulli equation can still be found in textbooks, there are many places where interested readers can gain a correct understanding.…

Understanding wing lift

The conventional explanation of aerodynamic lift based on Bernoulli’s equation is one of the most common mistakes in presentations to school students and is found in children’s science books. The…

The physics of flight: I. Fixed and rotating wings

Almost all elementary textbook explanations of the theory of flight rely heavily on Bernoulli’s principle and the fact that air travels faster over a wing than below it. In recent years the…

Bernoulli? Perhaps, but What About Viscosity?

Bernoulli’s principle is being misunderstood and consequently misused. This paper clarifies the issues involved, hypothesises as to how this unfortunate situation has arisen, provides sound…

Could the Coandă effect be called the Young effect? The understanding of fluid dynamics of a legendary polymath

We discuss a brief part of a famous paper on sound and light written by Thomas Young in 1800. We show that the proverbial intuition of this famous polymath leads to the discussion of several…

Flawed Applications of Bernoulli’s Principle

One of the most popular demonstration experiments pertaining to Bernoulli’s principle is the production of a water spray by using a vertical plastic straw immersed in a glass of water and a…

What supports an aeroplane? Force, momentum, energy and power in flight

Some apparently confusing aspects of Newton’s laws as applied to an aircraft in normal horizontal flight are neatly resolved by a careful analysis of force, momentum, energy and power. A number of…

Levitating a strip of paper by blowing over it

It is shown that if you blow vigorously over a curved strip of paper, it levitates into the shape of a catenary. This result quantifies a common classroom demonstration and is a pedagogically useful…
