/*     SUBROUTINE CALC_CRUSHING_PRESSURE */
/*     Purpose: Compute the effective "crushing pressure" in each compartment as */
/*     a result of descent segment(s).  The crushing pressure is the gradient */
/*     (difference in pressure) between the outside ambient pressure and the */
/*     gas tension inside a VPM nucleus (bubble seed).  This gradient acts to */
/*     reduce (shrink) the radius smaller than its initial value at the surface. */
/*     This phenomenon has important ramifications because the smaller the radius */
/*     of a VPM nucleus, the greater the allowable supersaturation gradient upon */
/*     ascent.  Gas loading (uptake) during descent, especially in the fast */
/*     compartments, will reduce the magnitude of the crushing pressure.  The */
/*     crushing pressure is not cumulative over a multi-level descent.  It will */
/*     be the maximum value obtained in any one discrete segment of the overall */
/*     descent.  Thus, the program must compute and store the maximum crushing */
/*     pressure for each compartment that was obtained across all segments of */
/*     the descent profile. */

/*     The calculation of crushing pressure will be different depending on */
/*     whether or not the gradient is in the VPM permeable range (gas can diffuse */
/*     across skin of VPM nucleus) or the VPM impermeable range (molecules in */
/*     skin of nucleus are squeezed together so tight that gas can no longer */
/*     diffuse in or out of nucleus; the gas becomes trapped and further resists */
/*     the crushing pressure).  The solution for crushing pressure in the VPM */
/*     permeable range is a simple linear equation.  In the VPM impermeable */
/*     range, a cubic equation must be solved using a numerical method. */

/*     Separate crushing pressures are tracked for helium and nitrogen because */
/*     they can have different critical radii.  The crushing pressures will be */
/*     the same for helium and nitrogen in the permeable range of the model, but */
/*     they will start to diverge in the impermeable range.  This is due to */
/*     the differences between starting radius, radius at the onset of */
/*     impermeability, and radial compression in the impermeable range. */
