34coefficient of compressibility — Compressibility is the aptitude of the soil to be deformed. It is expressed by means of a coefficient which is the ratio between a void ratio decrease from e0 to e and an increase in effective stress. The value av = e0–e)p represents the… …
35Compressibility (computer science) — In computer science a computable object such as a bitstring of size n is called compressible if there is computer program or algorithm that computes the bitstring but has fewer than n bits. The theory of Kolmogorov complexity is concerned with… …
36compressibility correction — A correction applied to rectified airspeed to get equivalent airspeed. This correction is always negative but is generally negligible below 200 to 240 knots …
37compressibility drag — A parasite drag caused by the extraordinary compression of air ahead of an aircraft at high speeds. An aircraft not designed for sonic flights is especially prone to encounter this phenomenon as it approaches the speed of flight. The effects are… …
38compressibility effect — The sudden increase in the total drag of an airfoil in transonic flight caused by formation of a shock wave on the surface …
39compressibility of air — The idea that air acts as an incompressible fluid at subsonic flow rates …
