n fluid dynamics, stagnation pressure (or pitot pressure)

is the static pressure at a stagnation point in a fluid

low.[1] At a stagnation point the fluid velocity is zero and
all kinetic energy has been converted into pressure
energy (isentropically). In an incompressible flow,
tagnation pressure is equal to the sum of the free-stream
dynamic pressure and free-stream static pressure.[2]

Stagnation pressure is sometimes referred to as pitot

pressure because it is measured using a pitot tube.
