Everything about Water Pressure totally explained
Fluid pressure is the
pressure at some point within a
fluid, such as water or air.
Fluid pressure occurs in one of two situations:
- an open condition, such as the ocean, a swimming pool, or the atmosphere; or
- a closed condition, such as a water line or a gas line.
Pressure in open conditions usually can be approximated as the pressure in "static" or non-moving conditions (even in the ocean where there are waves and currents), because the motions create only negligible changes in the pressure. Such conditions conform with principles of
fluid statics. The pressure at any given point of a non-moving (static) fluid is called the
hydrostatic pressure.
Closed bodies of fluid are either "static," when the fluid isn't moving, or "dynamic," when the fluid can move as in either a pipe or by compressing and air gap in a closed container. The pressure in closed conditions conforms with the principles of
fluid dynamics.
The concepts of fluid pressure are predominantly attributed to the discoveries of
Blaise Pascal and
Daniel Bernoulli.
