Stagnation pressure
From Peace Station Encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to searchStagnation pressure can mean:
- The pressure at a stagnation point.
- In compressible flow, the pressure exhibited by a moving gas or liquid brought to zero velocity by an isentropic process.
- = total pressure.
- = impact pressure.
Because of the lack of a standard meaning, stagnation pressure should be defined when it is used.
