Total Pressure in Hypersonic Flow Formulas

The Total Pressure is the sum of static and dynamic pressures in a fluid flow, representing the total energy per unit volume available in the flow system. And is denoted by P_T. Total Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Total Pressure is always negative.
