dynamic pressure
51Intraocular pressure — (IOP) is the fluid pressure inside the eye. Physiology and measurementIntraocular pressure is mainly determined by the coupling of the production of aqueous humor from the eye s ciliary body and its drainage through the trabecular meshwork and… …
52Positive end-expiratory pressure — (PEEP) is the pressure in the lungs (alveolar pressure) above atmospheric pressure (the pressure outside of the body) that exists at the end of expiration.[1] The two types of PEEP are extrinsic PEEP (PEEP applied by a ventilator) and intrinsic… …
53Fluid pressure — is the pressure at some point within a fluid, such as water or air. Fluid pressure occurs in one of two situations: #an open condition, such as the ocean, a swimming pool, or the atmosphere; or #a closed condition, such as a water line or a gas… …
54Overburden pressure — Overburden pressure, also called lithostatic pressure or vertical stress, is the pressure or stress imposed on a layer of soil or rock by the weight of overlying material. The overburden pressure at a depth z is given by where ρ(z) is the density …
55pitot pressure — The sum of dynamic and static pressure. It is used to measure air speed. The pitot tube faces the airflow and the pitot pressure is fed into it. Also known as total head pressure, stagnation pressure, ram air pressure, and impact pressure …
56total head pressure — The sum of dynamic and static pressure. Also known as pitot pressure, stagnation pressure, ram air pressure, and impact pressure. It is used to measure air speed. The pitot tube faces the airflow, and the pitot pressure is fed into it …
57Split-Hopkinson pressure bar — The split Hopkinson pressure bar is an apparatus for testing the dynamic stress strain response of materials.HistoryThe split Hopkinson pressure bar was first suggested by Bertram Hopkinson in 1914 as a way to measure stress pulse propagation in… …
58velocity pressure — The difference between dynamic (or total) pressure and static pressure. Also called a velocity head …
59total pressure — The sum of dynamic and static pressures. Also called total head pressure …
60total pressure — The sum of dynamic and static pressures …
