What are compressibile and incompressible flows ?
A compressible flow is one in which the density is constant throughout the flow. Liquids are generally assumed to be incompressible.
A liquid flowing through a pipe is an example of compressible flow.
Incompressible flow is one in which the density of the fluid is not constant.
Example: The flow of gas through a pipe is an example of compressible flow.
