total pressure
(Also called stagnation pressure.) The sum of the static pressure and the dynamic pressure when these concepts are applicable.
Since this is the pressure at the stagnation point of a streamline, it is measured by an ideal Pitot tube directed exactly upstream. The total pressure satisfies the hydrostatic equation.
