incompressibility
Incompressibility refers to the property of a substance, such as a liquid or a solid, that makes it able to resist compression or volume reduction due to an applied force. It is usually characterized by a high bulk modulus, a measure of how resistant a substance is to compression. In other words, incompressible substances do not appreciably change their volume or density under pressure.
