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:
“The nearer a conception comes towards finality, the nearer does the dynamic relation, out of which this concept has arisen, draw to a close. To know is to lose.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Osteopath—One who argues that all human ills are caused by the pressure of hard bone upon soft tissue. The proof of his theory is to be found in the heads of those who believe it.”
