Dynamic pressure, is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics. It represents the kinetic energy per unit volume of a moving fluid. Dynamic pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by a fluid in motion, which results from its velocity. It quantifies the impact of fluid motion: Dynamic pressure measures the pressure associated with the kinetic energy of a fluid in motion. As the fluid velocity increases, dynamic pressure increases accordingly.Â
