Laplace pressure of spherical shapes ==================================== Under the curved surface of a fluid, in addition to the internal pressure, additional pressure is created due to the curvature of the surface. The excess pressure under the curved surface of the fluid is called *Laplace pressure*. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia, second formula `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.thermodynamics.laplace_pressure_of_spherical_shapes .. py:data:: laplace_pressure Excess :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.pressure` under the curved surface.
