compressible fluid

compressible fluid
a fluid flow is compressible if its density changes appreciably (typically by a few percent) within the domain of interest. Typically, this will occur when the fluid velocity exceeds Mach 0.3. Hence, low velocity flows (both gas and liquids) behave incompressibly.
