Stagnation Pressure Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Stagnation Pressure
Stagnation Pressure is the pressure at the stagnation temperature during the process of ramming.
Symbol: p'
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Pressure
Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
Symbol: Pdynamic
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Newtonian angle
Newtonian angle is the angle between the normal to the surface and the freestream.
Symbol: Φ
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Free Stream Pressure
Free Stream Pressure is the pressure of fluid that hasn't encountered any disturbance.
Symbol: p
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
cos
Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Syntax: cos(Angle)

FAQs on Stagnation Pressure

What is the formula to find Stagnation Pressure?
The formula of Stagnation Pressure is expressed as Stagnation Pressure = 2*Dynamic Pressure*(cos(Newtonian angle))^2+Free Stream Pressure. Here is an example- 76.18697 = 2*12.56*(cos(56))^2+7.9.
How to calculate Stagnation Pressure?
With Dynamic Pressure (Pdynamic), Newtonian angle (Φ) & Free Stream Pressure (p) we can find Stagnation Pressure using the formula - Stagnation Pressure = 2*Dynamic Pressure*(cos(Newtonian angle))^2+Free Stream Pressure. This formula also uses Cosine (cos) function(s).
Can the Stagnation Pressure be negative?
Yes, the Stagnation Pressure, measured in Pressure can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Stagnation Pressure?
Stagnation Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Stagnation Pressure can be measured.
