The 19 pages that link to Compressible flow, each with the reason it gives.
AerodynamicsRelated: High-speed aerodynamics must account for substantial density variations.
Continuity equationRelated: Density variation makes the full mass-conservation equation necessary.
Euler equationsRelated: Compressible Euler equations allow density to vary with the motion.
Pitot tubeRelated: At high aircraft speeds, density changes require a compressible-flow correction.
Pipe flowRelated: Gas flow in pipes may require accounting for density variation with pressure.
