Dynamic Pressure

In incompressible fluid dynamics dynamic pressure (indicated with q, or Q, and sometimes called velocity pressure) is the quantity defined by:

where (using SI units):

= dynamic pressure in pascals,
= fluid density in kg/m3 (e.g. density of air),
= fluid velocity in m/s.

Famous quotes containing the words dynamic and/or pressure:

    “Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say “no.” I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.”
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
