incompressible fluid

An incompressible fluid is a type of fluid whose density remains constant regardless of the pressure applied to it. In practical terms, when you push or squeeze an incompressible fluid, such as water, its volume does not change significantly. This characteristic is important in many fields, such as engineering and physics, as it simplifies calculations and predictions for how fluids behave in pipes, pumps, and natural systems. Most liquids, like water or oil, are considered incompressible under normal conditions, while gases are typically compressible, meaning their volume can change significantly with pressure.
