Determining the thermodynamic state of the stagnation point is more difficult under an equilibrium gas model than a perfect gas model.
12.
Any quantity with a zero subscript refers to a stagnation point where the velocity is zero, such as in the reservoir.
13.
Stagnation points exist at the surface of objects in the flow field, where the fluid is brought to rest by the object.
14.
Once the initial transient effects have died out, the stagnation point is at the trailing edge as required by the Kutta condition.
15.
In compressible flow the stagnation pressure is equal to total pressure only if the fluid entering the stagnation point is brought to rest isentropically.
16.
After shock wave detachment, an entry vehicle must carry significantly more shocklayer gas around the leading edge stagnation point ( the subsonic cap ).
17.
The region below this stagnation point is called the interaction region, since all streamlines in this region are deflected downward into the street canyon.
18.
Local pier scour begins when the downflow velocity near the stagnation point is strong enough to overcome the resistance to motion of the bed particles.
19.
Stagnation pressure minus freestream static pressure is equal to freestream dynamic pressure; therefore the pressure coefficient C _ p at stagnation points is + 1.
20.
The Bernoulli equation shows that the static pressure is highest when the velocity is zero and hence static pressure is at its maximum value at stagnation points.
