Both. We use the imagery of two fire hoses pointed at one
another. The water flow from such a hose is high pressure
(velocity), as the stream is to reach to the top of buildings,
optimally, and carries a lot of water (density) so as to put
out the fire. If the firemen holding these two hoses stand
close together, they had better have their shoes nailed to the
floor, as the PUSH BACK (Repulsion Force) is strong.
Moved further apart, they find a couple things changing,
so holding the hoses is still difficult, but the push back has
reduced.
1. the water pressure (velocity) in the stream has reduced
due to spray to the side as well as straight ahead, relieving
the pressure
2. the water stream has spread to the sides, and increasingly
as water is lost in spray, the amount of water (density) is
reduced.
So do marketers of fire hoses explain the different in pressure
at 10 feet, 100 feet, 1,000 feet? A bell curve is a handy
visual measure. It would be a bell with a flat bottom, and
sharp curve at the sides. Very sharp. And the walls on the
sides would hardly rise, in that there is NO further progress
once an equilibrium has been reached in the downdraft and
upblasts. The object coming together are in a standoff.
