An analogous equation in fluid flow is
∆P = ρAv
where
P is the pressure
ρ is the weight density of the fluid
A is the area through which the fluid is flowing
v is the velocity of the fluid

Do not recall if there is a direct name but there is a formula that i do recall.
Volume= pressure X Diameter X pie "7/22 ,,3.1415..."
Increase Volume = increase pressure or diameter.
Increase pressure cost more or need a lot more energy so cost wise it is cheaper in increase diameter "pipe".
One other good rule to remember is double Diameter you get a increase by a little of a factor or three. by to pie.

Bernoulli's equation, which is just conservation of energy for a liquid.
the article seems a bit "mathy" though so it might not be good for general understanding
