Which consequence results when the Navier-Stokes equations become computationally intractable in simulating hypersonic airflow around an aircraft?

A)Delayed transition to control surfaces
B)Reduced skin friction coefficient prediction
C)Increased shock wave boundary layer interaction
D)Compromised thermal protection system design

💡 Explanation

Inability correctly to solve Navier-Stokes equations, because of computational limits, necessitates simplified models for boundary layer heat flux estimations; therefore the thermal protection system design is compromised, rather than inaccurate aerodynamic forces; the mechanism is approximate heat transfer modeling.
