fluid dynamics - Bernoulli's principle: Why an increase in the section area in a hose makes the pressure increase?


I'm having trouble understanding Bernoulli's principle, in particular, why an increase in the section area of a hose increases the pressure?


All the answers I read say: " In order for the energy to be conserved" or "when the tube is compressed, the fluid has to speed up so that the same amount of the fluid gets out of the tube in the same interval of time (continuity law)".


I'm not looking for the finality : energy conservation. I'm trying to understand the mechanism, what happens at the molecular level?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
