Can Bernoulli’s equation be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river? Explain.


The flow of water through a rapid in a river consist of turbulent flow of water. The Bernoulli’s equation cannot be applied to the turbulent flow. It can only be applied to the streamline flow.


Thus, The Bernoulli’s equation cannot be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river.
