Pressure Coefficient
This information can be used to show that the pressure coefficient at a stagnation point is unity (positive one):
where:
- is pressure coefficient
- is static pressure at the point at which pressure coefficient is being evaluated
- is static pressure at points remote from the body (freestream static pressure)
- is dynamic pressure at points remote from the body (freestream dynamic pressure)
Stagnation pressure minus freestream static pressure is equal to freestream dynamic pressure; therefore the pressure coefficient at stagnation points is +1.

Famous quotes containing the word pressure:
“I am convinced that our American society will become more and more vulgarized and that it will be fragmentized into contending economic, racial and religious pressure groups lacking in unity and common will, unless we can arrest the disintegration of the family and of community solidarity.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
