Surface Pressure in Hypersonic Flow Formulas

The Surface Pressure is the force exerted by a fluid per unit area on a surface, crucial for understanding fluid behavior in hypersonic and Newtonian flow contexts. And is denoted by p. Surface Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Surface Pressure is always positive.
