← ScienceWhich consequence results when laminar airflow assumption fails?
A)Increased drag along the airfoil✓
B)Decreased lift due to circulation
C)Reduced stall angle of attack
D)Delayed boundary layer transition
💡 Explanation
Increased drag results upon laminar airflow failure; *Turbulence* dramatically increases skin friction because momentum transfer rises rapidly. Therefore drag increases rather than lift decreasing from Bernoulli equation, and separation occurs sooner, rather than later delaying boundary layer development.
