← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when fluid viscosity approaches zero in Navier-Stokes equations?
A)Increased boundary layer flow stability
B)Decreased energy dissipation rates found
C)Turbulence model accuracy gets worse✓
D)Transition to creeping microchannel flow
💡 Explanation
If viscosity approaches zero; inertial forces dominate. The fluid experiences amplified instability from energy cascade, also know as the cascade mechanism, which results into a breakdown of laminar models, therefore turbulence models become less reliable, rather than a more stable conditions.
