← ScienceWhich boundary-layer effect increases when wind turbine load fluctuations cause onset of substantial turbulence?
A)Decreased aerodynamic efficiency results
B)Increased blade icing accelerates
C)Increased laminar flow transition results
D)Decreased structural fatigue worsens✓
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulence enhances unsteady loading and vibration via vortex shedding; fatigue worsens because cyclic stresses accumulate, therefore leading to structural weaknesses rather than improved aerodynamic efficiency because turbulence disrupts airflow and increases drag.
