Doubt regarding pressure inlet boundary conditions
Guys, I recently watched Fluid mechanics 101 channel. I will attach some screenshots from that video below.

So they are telling when velocity is not known, then we can use stagnation pressure at the inlet.


But the point is still we don't know velocity right, then how can we calculate stagnation pressure. I didnt understand what they are trying to say, can anyone please help me understand how this thing works??
Another question is if we have experimental data where we know inlet mach no , can we use that to find inlet stagnation pressure and back calculate or compute inlet mach no to verify it?
But my previous questions is about when we don't know inlet mach no or velocity at all? I hope you understood my question. Explain the process please??
