Variables
Functions
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.
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.
Static Pressure
Static Pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid (such as air or a gas) that is not in motion.
Symbol: Pstatic
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
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
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
