"Hydrodynamica" is a significant work by the Dutch scientist Daniel Bernoulli, published in 1738. It explores the principles of fluid dynamics, focusing on the behavior of liquids and gases in motion. Bernoulli introduced concepts such as pressure, velocity, and energy conservation in fluid flow, which laid the groundwork for modern fluid mechanics. The book is best known for the Bernoulli's principle, which states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or potential energy. This principle has numerous applications, including in aviation, where it helps explain how aircraft wings generate lift.
