Definition

In a static, confined, incompressible fluid (neglecting significant density gradients and accelerations), an externally applied pressure at one point is transmitted undiminished and isotropically to every other point in the fluid, so that a uniform incremental pressure change is imposed throughout the connected fluid volume; this applies to pressure, not directly to net force or work without accou
