Which consequence arises when incompressible flow violates Bernoulli's equation?

A)Flow separation occurs at curved surfaces
B)Fluid reaches thermal equilibrium rapidly
C)Reynolds number approaches zero
D)Viscosity effects become negligible

💡 Explanation

Flow separation happens because adverse pressure gradients implied by Bernoulli's equation, now unmet due to compressibility, cause the boundary layer to stall. Therefore, flow separates rather than adhering to the surface, because the assumptions of incompressibility leads to inaccuracies.
