Dynamic Pressure
Dynamic pressure is the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid
Sponsored Links
Dynamic pressure is the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid a liquid or gas and can be expressed as
pd = 1/2 ρ v2 (1)
where
pd = dynamic pressure (Pa)
ρ = density of fluid (kg/m3)
v = velocity (m/s)
Dynamic Pressure Calculator
The calculator below can be used to calculate the dynamic pressure generated by a moving fluid. The calculator is generic and both SI and Imperial units can be used.
The default values below are for water with density of 1000 kg/m3.
40 v velocity (m/s, ft/s)
SIunits Imperial units
Calculate!
Some common densities at atmospheric pressure:
Water 0oC 1000 kg/m3
Water 32oF 62.4 lbm /ft 3
Air 20oC 1.2 kg/m3
Air 59oF 0.0765 lbm /ft 3
Example The Dynamic Pressure in a Water Flow
The dynamic pressure in water with temperature 20oC density 1000 kg/m3 velocity 5 m/s can be calculated as
pd = 1/2 (1000 kg/m3) (5 m/s)2
= 12500 Pa
= 12.5 kPa
Example The Force acting on a Wall from a Hurricane
The dynamic pressure in a hurricane with temperature 20oC, density 1.2 kg/m3 and velocity 37 m/s can be calculated as
pd = 1/2 (1.2 kg/m3) (37 m/s)2
= 821 Pa (N/m2)
The force acting on a wall with area A = 10 m2 can be calculated as
F = pd A
= (821 N/m2) (10 m2)
= 8210 N
= 8.2 kN
