The velocity, V1, in a Pitot tube refers to the fluid velocity at the specific location of the Pitot tube in a fluid flow. The Pitot tube is an instrument used to measure the velocity of a fluid, particularly in applications like aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.
- V1 is the velocity at the location of the Pitot tube.
- p0 is the total pressure of the fluid at the point where the Pitot tube is placed.
- p1 is the static pressure of the fluid at the location of the Pitot tube.
- 𝜌 (rho) is the density of the fluid.
