[docs]def dynamic_press(
n_s: DataArray, v_xyz: DataArray, specie: Optional[str] = "ions"
) -> DataArray:
r"""Computes dynamic pressure.
Parameters
----------
n_s : DataArray
Time series of the number density of the specie.
v_xyz : DataArray
Time series of the bulk velocity of the specie.
specie : str, Optional
Specie 'ions' or 'electrons'. Default 'ions'.
Returns
-------
DataArray
Time series of the dynamic pressure of the specie.
Examples
--------
>>> from pyrfu import mms, pyrf
Time interval
>>> tint = ["2019-09-14T07:54:00.000", "2019-09-14T08:11:00.000"]
Spacecraft index
>>> mms_id = 1
Load ion bulk velocity and remove spintone
>>> v_xyz_i = mms.get_data("vi_gse_fpi_fast_l2", tint, mms_id)
>>> st_xyz_i = mms.get_data("sti_gse_fpi_fast_l2", tint, mms_id)
>>> v_xyz_i = v_xyz_i - st_xyz_i
Ion number density
>>> n_i = mms.get_data("ni_fpi_fast_l2", tint, mms_id)
Compute dynamic pressure
>>> p = pyrf.dynamic_press(n_i, v_xyz_i, specie="ions")
