← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased vessel resistance when turbulent blood flow exceeds certain Reynolds number?
A)Adverse viscosity gradient formation
B)Elevated erythrocyte aggregation
C)Complex eddy current generation✓
D)Bernoulli equation non-linear effects
💡 Explanation
Increased resistance arises from energy dissipation through complex eddy current generation within the turbulent flow, because eddies convert kinetic energy into heat. Consequently, resistance rises, rather than dropping due to other inertial effects predicted by Bernoulli's equation at lower Reynold's numbers; therefore eddy kinetic energy rises.
