← ScienceWhich consequence results when the Navier-Stokes equations neglect fluid viscosity?
A)Unrealistic drag coefficient predictions arise✓
B)Improved modeling of boundary layer separation
C)Accurate prediction of turbulent energy cascades
D)Exact computation of capillary wave dynamics
💡 Explanation
Neglecting viscosity means the Navier-Stokes equations cannot accurately model shear stresses, because viscosity defines internal friction. Therefore unrealistic drag coefficient predictions arise, rather than better boundary layer modeling or turbulence prediction which rely on viscous effects being present.
