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)

What is the description of the velocity field in a fluid that is incompressible?

In an incompressible fluid, the velocity field describes how the fluid moves without changing its density.


What are the key assumptions underlying the Navier-Stokes equations?

The key assumptions underlying the Navier-Stokes equations are that the fluid is continuous, incompressible, and viscous. These equations also assume that the flow is steady and that the forces acting on the fluid are balanced.


In Bernoulli's Theorem why is an incompressible and a non-viscous fluid used?

compression in fluids changes the volume of fluid whereas the volume isinversely proportional to the the kinetic energy of flowing fluid. viscous nature of fluid is due to cohesion and adhesion forces of the fluid hence these forces regulates the speed of flowing fluid on the walls of pipe and within the fluid molecules.


What are the properties and characteristics of an incompressible fluid?

An incompressible fluid is a substance that does not change its volume when subjected to pressure. It has constant density and is not easily compressed. Incompressible fluids flow smoothly and exhibit properties such as high viscosity and low compressibility.


What is the basic assumption inherent in Darcy's law?

The basic assumption inherent in Darcy's law is that the flow of fluid through a porous medium is proportional to the pressure gradient in the direction of flow. This assumes that the fluid is flowing through a homogeneous and isotropic medium.

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 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

Why does the density of an incompressible fluid remains constant?

In incompressible fluid density is same because velocity gradient is same on every layer of liquid at any cross section.


What does more viscous mean?

More viscous refers to a fluid's resistance to flowing. A higher viscosity indicates a thicker or more sluggish fluid that flows more slowly. Examples of more viscous substances include honey and molasses.
