← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when calculating Reynolds number for aircraft wing design?
A)Flow transitions to turbulent; stall✓
B)Materials reach ultimate tensile strength
C)Engine efficiency exceeds theoretical limits
D)Lift exceeds the aircraft’s weight
💡 Explanation
Airflow transition from laminar to turbulent flow, occurs because increased air velocity leads to a higher Reynolds number. This triggers boundary layer separation, an instance of flow separation phenomena; therefore stall occurs, rather than simply increased structural stress or performance.
