Stagnation Pressure in Compressible Flow Formulas

Stagnation Pressure at point in fluid flow is defined as the pressure that would exist if the flow were slowed down isentropically to zero velocity. And is denoted by P₀. Stagnation Pressure is usually measured using the Atmosphere Technical for Pressure. Note that the value of Stagnation Pressure is always negative.
