Question
Have you experienced a sideways jerk while driving a two wheeler when a heavy vehicle overtakes you ?
✓
Answer
Suppose a truck passes a two-wheeler or car on a highway. Air passing between the vehicles flows in a narrower channel and must increase its speed according to Bernoulli’s principle causing the pressure between them to drop. Due to greater pressure on the outside, the two-wheeler or car veers towards the truck.
When two ships sail parallel side-by-side within a distance considerably less than their lengths, since ships are widest toward their middle, water moves faster in the narrow gap between them. As water velocity increases, the pressure in between the ships decreases due to the Bernoulli effect and draws the ships together. Several ships have collided and suffered damage in the early twentieth century. Ships performing At-sea refueling or cargo transfers performed by ships is very risky for the same reason.
