WHAT DOES ISOPYCNIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Isopycnic

Isopycnic means "of the same density." In particular, an isopycnic surface is a surface of constant density. This term is a bit more obscure than the similar terms isobaric or isothermal surfaces, which describe surfaces of constant pressure and constant temperature respectively. It is common in conversational use to hear isopycnic surfaces referred to simply as "iso-density" surfaces, which while strictly incorrect, is nonetheless abundantly more clear. The term "isopycnic" is commonly encountered in the fluid dynamics of compressible fluids, such as in meteorology and geophysical fluid dynamics, astrophysics, or the fluid dynamics of explosions or high Mach number flows. It may also be applied to other situations where a continuous medium has smoothly-varying density, such as in the case of an inhomogeneous colloidal suspension. In general isopycnic surfaces will occur in fluids in hydrostatic equilibrium coinciding with equipotential surfaces formed by gravity. Isopycnic surfaces occur in geology, especially in connection with cratons which are very old geologic formations at the core of the continents, little affected by tectonic events.
