According to Bernoulli’s equation, the total energy of the flow of fluid remains constant. It is true when the flow is steady or laminar. The consequence of this equation is that the increase in the pressure of the flow of fluid is accompanied by the decrease in speed of the flow of fluid and vice versa.
The flow of air near the window of the moving car is not laminar. It is turbulent near the car due to the shape of the car. So, Bernoulli’s equation cannot be applied here. So, the increase in velocity of the air is not associated with the decrease in pressure. Thus, it is not a violation of Bernoulli’s equation. The result is that we feel an increase in pressure when we put our hand outside the window.
