Dynamic Pressure

Dynamic pressure is the component of fluid pressure that represents fluid kinetic energy (i.e., motion), while static pressure represents hydrostatic effects, so


The dynamic pressure of a fluid with density and speed u is given by


which is precisely the second term in Bernoulli's law.
