Bernoulli's principle is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics that describes the behavior of a fluid moving along a streamline. Formulated by the Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli in the 18th century, the principle states that in a steady flow of an incompressible, non-viscous fluid, an increase in the fluid's speed occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or potential energy in that flow.
