Which consequence results when neglecting viscosity terms in equations modeling fluid flow inside a microfluidic device with extremely small dimensions?

💡 Explanation

Neglecting viscosity in microfluidic devices underestimates the damping of disturbances; thus, an artificial instability appears when using the 'Navier-Stokes Equations'. This premature turbulence is predicted because viscous forces stabilize the flow rather than inertia, and are dominant in microfluidics.
