The Bernoulli equation (for incompressible fluids) says that the sum
of the kinetic energy density, the gravitational potential energy density,
and the pressure is constant along a streamline so that if the speed
DECREASES from point A to point B along a horizontal streamline,
the pressure must be HIGHER at point B than at point A.
But in the rest frame of the fluid at point A, the speed is zero at point A
and, thus, necessarily is higher at point B so that, in THAT frame, the
pressure must be LOWER at point B than at point A.
What's up with that?
