A gas is a compressible fluid, and the change in volume is considerable with moderate variation of pressure.
Once in the skin, the allergen may produce a classic immune wheal and flare response (a skin lesion with a raised, white, compressible area surrounded by a red flare).
Piles are used as foundations in compressible or loose soil.
The outer layer of bark in the cork oak by annual additions from within gradually becomes a thick soft homogeneous mass, possessing those compressible and elastic properties upon which the economic value of the material chiefly depends.
The UM uses a full compressible equation set, no turbulence closure (numerical diffusion only) and a hybrid terrain following co-ordinate system.
Water is comparatively very heavy, inelastic and incompressible; air, on the other hand, is comparatively very light, elastic and compressible.
We apply the method to compressible and incompressible linear elasticity problems, including problems with stress singularities.
