  2. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

    Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

  3. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a nearly constant volume independent of pressure. It is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

  4. Fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid

    Compressible fluid: A fluid that causes volume reduction or density change when pressure is applied to the fluid or when the fluid becomes supersonic. Incompressible fluid: A fluid that does not vary in volume with changes in pressure or flow velocity (i.e., ρ=constant) such as water or oil.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    As a rough guide, compressible effects can be ignored at Mach numbers below approximately 0.3. For liquids, whether the incompressible assumption is valid depends on the fluid properties (specifically the critical pressure and temperature of the fluid) and the flow conditions (how close to the critical pressure the actual flow pressure becomes).

  6. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    From a strictly aerodynamic point of view, the term should refer only to those side-effects arising as a result of the changes in airflow from an incompressible fluid (similar in effect to water) to a compressible fluid (acting as a gas) as the speed of sound is approached. There are two effects in particular, wave drag and critical mach.

  7. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    For water and other liquids, this integral can be simplified significantly for many practical applications, based on the following two assumptions. Since many liquids can be considered incompressible, a reasonable good estimation can be made from assuming a constant density throughout the liquid. The same assumption cannot be made within a ...

  8. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    As the pressure is increased, the compressibility decreases, being 3.9 × 10 −10 Pa −1 at 0 °C and 100 megapascals (1,000 bar). [42] The bulk modulus of water is about 2.2 GPa. [43] The low compressibility of non-gasses, and of water in particular, leads to their often being assumed as incompressible.

    Venturi effect – Reduced pressure caused by a flow restriction in a tube or pipe; Vortex – Fluid flow revolving around an axis of rotation; Water hammer – Pressure surge when a fluid is forced to stop or change direction suddenly; Wave drag – Aircraft aerodynamic drag at transonic and supersonic speeds due to the presence of shock waves
