Consider the portion of the figure A, B, and C as a U-tube manometer. Using this statics
relationship (Pascal's Law),
p A p B water gh1

Adding the two equations gives

This pressure pA is same as the pressure p2 because of the absence of pressure drop for
inviscid fluid flow. Thus,

There is rotation in the flow field. You may wonder that there is no friction (no
viscosity) but why the flow is rotational. Imagine that the fluid flow is rotated initially and
keep rotating forever because of the absence of viscosity.
Because the flow is rotational, Bernoulli's equation cannot be applied between any two
points in the flow. The only way to apply Bernoulli's equation in this case is that two
points must be on the same streamline. This can be verified by:
Point 1 at (x,y) = (1,4): 1 = A(1)2(4) = 4A
Point 2 at (x,y) = (2,1): 2 = A(2)2(1) = 4A
1 =2 Two points are on the same streamline. Bernoulli's equation can be applied
between these two points.
