Dynamic pressure from speed =========================== **Dynamic pressure**, sometimes called **velocity pressure**, is a physical quantity denoting the pressure caused by a flowing fluid. **Notes:** #. Many authors define this quantity only for *incompressible flows*, but others extend it for compressible flows as well. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.hydro.dynamic_pressure_via_density_and_flow_speed .. py:data:: dynamic_pressure :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.dynamic_pressure` of the fluid.
