However, since hydraulic disc brakes usually require relatively specialized tools to bleed the brake systems, repairs on the trail are difficult to perform, whereas mechanical disc brakes rarely fail.
Also, the hydraulic fluid may boil on steep, continuous downhills.
This is due to the brake losing its ability to transmit force through incompressible fluids, since some of it has become a gas, which is compressible.

I want to solve the equations of fluid dynamics for the adiabatic, irrotational flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid.
Incompressibility means that the divergence of the velocity vanishes (after insisting upon conservation of mass) in the absence of sources or sinks.
This suggests to me that the electrostatic analogy is overly simplified and cannot be used on the wing unless the fluid is extremely viscous.

Navier (in 1821) and Stokes (some 20 years later) independently developed the differential equations describing incompressible fluid flow.
The equation is now known as the Navier-Stokes equation and is the basis of fluid dynamics.
