Incompressible Flow

Incompressible flow refers to the movement of a fluid in which its density remains constant, even as it flows. This typically applies to liquids, like water, under most conditions where pressure changes are minimal. When fluid is incompressible, the mass of fluid passing through a particular area stays the same over time, allowing for easier calculations of flow and pressure. Understanding incompressible flow helps engineers design efficient systems, such as pipelines and pumps, by simplifying the complex behavior of fluids under various conditions.
