Which mechanism causes inaccurate readings at high Reynolds number in venturi meters?

💡 Explanation

Boundary layer separation occurs because the adverse pressure gradient becomes too stong for the fluid near the wall to overcome, resulting in flow reversal and hence pressure fluctuation; therefore, the pressure difference measurement is affected rather than viscosity induced wall stress.
