\rho(p, T) = \rho_0(T) = {\rm const} |
which implies that compressibility is equivalent to zero compressibility:

c(T, p) \equiv 0 \Leftrightarrow \frac{d \rho}{ dp} = 0 |
This also implies that material balance equation:

\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t} + \nabla (\rho \, {\br u}) = 0 |

Incompressible matter does not exist but in many practical applications the pressure variation may stay within the sufficiently narrow range where a given matter can be considered as incompressible.
