Dynamic pressure ($q$) is a measure of the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid flowing. It represents the pressure increase experienced by a fluid when it is brought to rest. In aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, dynamic pressure is a critical parameter for understanding the energy associated with fluid motion.

Where:

• $q$ is the dynamic pressure,
• $\rho$ is the density of the fluid,
• $v$ is the velocity of the fluid.
