Contrary to a common but wrong explanation of aeroplane wings [5], Bernoulli's principle doesn't explain why there's this difference in pressure - that's down to the shape and orientation of the ...

Swiss scientist, Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), demonstrated that, in most cases, the pressure in a liquid or gas decreases as the liquid or gas moves faster. This explains in part why a wing lifts ...

Given the "Venturi tube" shape of the pharynx, the Bernoulli pressure principle plays a major role in snoring. The key structure in snoring is the soft palate: it defines the constriction and is ...

At the beginning of our study, we wanted to check the presence of clinically recognized reasons for snoring, such as obstacles in the nose, a narrow pharynx (in obese persons), backward ...
