Which mechanism reduces the fluid velocity near turbine blades?

A)Fluid boundary layer formation
B)Increased blade surface tension
C)Compressible fluid expansion
D)Decreased cavitation threshold

💡 Explanation

Boundary layer formation reduces fluid velocity because viscosity causes a no-slip condition at the surface; therefore boundary layer decreases speed, rather than tension, expansion, or cavitation influencing near-blade velocities.
