The pressure obtained by bringing a flow to rest without losses; in compressible flow the usual definition specifies an isentropic process for stopping. For the constant-mass density, same-height Bernoulli equation discussed under dynamic pressure, .
An upstream-facing probe that senses stagnation pressure. Determining speed also requires a separate static pressure and mass density.
A combined Pitot tube and static pressure probe with separate passages for the two pressures.
