Example (cont.)

Determine the pressure distribution along the streamline using Bernoulli’s equation. Also determine the stagnation pressure at the stagnation point.

• The pressure increases as the particle approaches the stagnation point.

• It reaches the maximum value of 0.5, that is Pstag-P?=(1/2)rUO2 as u(x)?0 near the stagnation point.
