What is a stagnation pressure?

In fluid dynamics, stagnation pressure is the static pressure at a stagnation point in a fluid flow. At a stagnation point, the fluid velocity is zero. In an incompressible flow, stagnation pressure is equal to the sum of the free-stream static pressure and the free-stream dynamic pressure.

What is the significance of Mach number in compressible fluid flow?

The Mach Number is a dimensionless value useful for analyzing fluid flow dynamics problems where compressibility is a significant factor. The bulk modulus elasticity has the dimension pressure and is commonly used to characterize fluid compressibility. The square of the Mach number is the Cauchy Number.
