treated as incompressible. In some unsteady conditions

very high pressure differences can occur and it is
necessary to take these into account - even for liquids.
Gasses, on the contrary, are very easily compressed, it is
essential in most cases to treat these as compressible,
taking changes in pressure into account.
Hence, the direction of flow for steady incompressible
