Ram pressure
text:
Ram pressure is a pressure exerted on a body moving through a fluid medium, caused by relative bulk motion of the fluid rather than random thermal motion. It causes a drag force to be exerted on the body. Ram pressure is given in tensor form as
- P ram = ρ u i u j (, where ρ is the density of the fluid; P ram is the momentum flux per second in the i direction through a surface with normal in the j direction. u i, u j are the components of the fluid velocity in these directions. The total Cauch
