Static, Total pressure
 

Dear all, I am doing cfd analysis to find wind pressure on anattena. With inlet velocity 16.67 m/s, I got static pressure around 169 pa and total pressure 206 pa. What pressure shall I consider as force, which is really acting on antenna, whether static or total(static + dynamic). Please help me

hi,

if the antenna is in atmosphere the force is generated by stagnation of wind there for you have to consider total pressure.this is my opinion
