High compressibility of objects subject to this phenomenon leads to instability at equilibria.
High compressibility of objects subject to this phenomenon leads to instability at equilibria. Flows driven by this force can be estimated with the Boussinesq approximation. The Cartesian Devil demonstrates this force, whose ratio to viscosity can be approximated with the Grashof number. This force regulates isostasy, and is responsible for convection. The earliest claim about this force was that an object in a fluid is lifted with force equal to the weight of displaced fluid, this being Archimedes' principle. For 10 points, name this property that allows boats to float.
