Dynamic Pressure
Dynamic Pressure, denoted as q, is a measure of the kinetic energy per unit volume of a flowing fluid.
Symbol: q
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mach Number
Mach Number (Ma) is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of the speed of an object (such as an aircraft or projectile) to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.
Symbol: M
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Heat Capacity Ratio
The Heat Capacity Ratio also known as the adiabatic index is the ratio of specific heats i.e. the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.
Symbol: Y
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
