ukomprimerbare
Ukonomprimerbare is a term used in Swedish and Norwegian to denote something that cannot be compressed, i.e., whose volume remains essentially unchanged under pressure. In English, the closest standard term is incompressible. The concept is used as an idealization in physics and engineering: a substance or model in which density is treated as constant despite changes in pressure.
Etymology: The word derives from the verb komprimera (to compress) with a negative prefix and a suffix
Definition and usage: In physics and engineering, ukomprimerbare describes a hypothetical substance or modeling assumption in
Applications and limits: Liquids are commonly treated as ukomprimerbare in many aerodynamic and hydrodynamic problems, especially
