← ScienceWhich consequence results when aerodynamic surfaces experience boundary layer separation?
A)Dramatic induced drag increase ensues✓
B)Lift coefficient continues linearly upwards
C)Skin friction drag remains unchanged
D)Pressure drag reaches minimum potential
💡 Explanation
Separation causes a stall because adverse pressure gradient overcomes viscous forces, triggering turbulent flow via Adverse Pressure Gradient. Therefore, drag increases dramatically, rather than remaining constant, because lift sharply decreases.
