compression; → facteur.

compression wave
  موج ِ تنجش   
mowj-e tanješ

Fr.: onde de compression   

A → longitudinal wave that compresses the → medium along the direction of → propagation, such as a → sound wave. Same as → compressional wave.

compression; → wave.

Fr.: de compression   

Of or relating to → compression.

compression; → -al.

compressional wave
  موج ِ تنجشی   
mowj-e tanješi

Fr.: onde de compression   

An → elastic wave that travels through a → medium with the particles of the medium moving in the same direction as the wave propagation. The compressional wave is the wave that is primarily used in → seismic exploration. Also called P-wave, primary wave, pressure wave.

compressional; → wave.

decompression
  واتنجش   
vâtanješ

Fr.: décompression   

1) A gradual decrease in surrounding → pressure, especially the controlled decrease in pressure that divers undergo after working in deep water or breathing compressed air.
