Ummm, I really don't want to get stuck in this whole thing, but "air is
a fluid by definition" is wrong. Therefore your whole example is wrong.
Air is a gas and there are some pretty complex formulas to express
pressure, volume and temperature of a gas while it is static. As soon as
it starts moving you can break out the Cray.

P.S. I wish I remembered enough of my physics classes to be more
helpful.
