| Owing to the incompressibility of the fluid, variation in the longitudinal flow must be accompanied by lateral motion of the basilar membrane. |
| In this way is guaranteed that the method verifies asymptotically the incompressibility condition and in addition the imposition can be done a priori. |
| Other than fluid incompressibility and cyclic averaging, no assumptions are required! |
| Due to the assumed incompressibility, only isochoric deformations are allowed for the introduced model. |
| This topological change is a consequence of the in-plane incompressibility of the lipids, and alters the total Gaussian curvature of the system. |
| Osmotically induced volume changes result in vesicle shape changes because of the relative incompressibility of the membrane bilayer. |
