Which flow regime reduces predicted lift when applying Bernoulli's equation above a stalled airfoil?

💡 Explanation

Boundary layer separation reduces predicted lift because it fundamentally changes airflow; the flow no longer smoothly follows the airfoil's surface. Flow separation introduces significantly complex circulation patterns rather than behaving according to Bernoulli's equation, therefore predicted lift is lower than observed.
