Mariotte's bottle, also known as a "water jar" or "Mariotte bottle," is a simple device used to demonstrate principles of fluid dynamics, particularly related to pressure and flow. The device consists of a container, usually a glass or plastic bottle, that has an outlet hole near the bottom. It is named after the French physicist Edme Mariotte, who is credited with formalizing the principles behind it in the 17th century.
