Airflow
/ˈɛrˌfloʊ/noun
ELI5 Mode🧒
Airflow is the movement of air in a specific direction, driven by differences in pressure, temperature, or mechanical forces. In modern contexts, it's essential for optimizing energy efficiency in systems like ventilation, aircraft design, and computer cooling, where even minor adjustments can dramatically reduce waste and prevent overheating.

The study of airflow led to the discovery of the Venturi effect in 1797 by Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi, which explains how fluid speed increases through a constriction, and it's now used in devices like spray paint guns and medical nebulizers to deliver precise mists.
