Yes, water is compressible, but to such a small degree that it is considered uncompressible. An example of this is that "A mile under water gives about 150 atmospheres of pressure... [which is] less than 1 percent compression" (Department of Physics: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).

∙ 14y agoWater really doesn't like to be compressed. It's compressibility is something on the order of5.1×10-5 bar−1 at 0 °C. (Remember that temperature and pressure determine the compressibility of water.) You can measure that, but you really can't see it happen because it's so slight.

Is blood a compressible fluid?
if the density of the fluid changes with respect to pressure is called compressible fluid f the density of the fluid does not changes with respect to pressure is called incompressible fluid
Water is incompressible fluid when what we do for bring it is compressible?
It can't be made compressible, if that's what you mean - unless you turn it into steam.There really is no such thing as an incompressible fluid; but the amount a liquid's volume changes under pressure is so little, that for many practical purposes it can be considered incompressible.
Is air a compressible fluid?
Yes, air is a compressible fluid. Water is not a compressible fluid.
What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
Must the flow of a compressible fluid be treated as compressible?
No, if the pressure difference results in a density change of less than thirty percent (30%) the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density of the fluid equals the average density and that the density is constant.

What is the difference between a compressible fluid and an incompressible fluid?
The density of a compressible fluid changes with pressure, while the density of an incompressible fluid is not affected by pressure (assuming isothermal conditions).

Is air a compressible fluid?
Yes, air is a compressible fluid. Water is not a compressible fluid.
What do you mean when you say that a fluid is incompressible?
Nothing is inincompressible For practical propose, it defined water as incompressible since its' compressibility is very low. To compressed water down to 99/100 of original volume you would need a pressure of 217 Bar approximately. Any normal pressure vessel would burst at such pressure. It is then considered water as incompressible.
What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
What is meant by incompressible viscous fluid?
Which word do you not understand? incompressible - cannot be compressed viscous - resistant to flow, "thick" fluid - substance that flows (both gases and liquids are fluids, but gases are usually compressible; liquids generally aren't)
Is blood compressible?
In theory blood is compressible; however, for many instances it can be assumed incompressible.
Is water an ideal fluid?
Ideal Fluid:An incompressible fluid that has no internal viscosity.
Water is a non compssible fluid?
Fluids include liquids and gasses. Liquids are not compressible. Gasses are compressible. Water is a liquid and it not compressible.
Must the flow of a compressible fluid be treated as compressible?
No, if the pressure difference results in a density change of less than thirty percent (30%) the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density of the fluid equals the average density and that the density is constant.

Must the flow of compressible fluid necessarily be treated as compressible?
No, for gases if the difference in pressure results in a density change of less than approximately thirty percent (30%), the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density to be the average density which remains constant.
