Which outcome occurs when the Navier-Stokes equation neglects viscosity in analyzing supersonic airflow?

💡 Explanation

Neglecting effective viscosity causes the numerical scheme to model the kinetic energy cascade inaccurately under the Kolmogorov theory describing spatial distributions; therefore the energy increases artificially, rather than dissipating; this affects finer turbulent flows, rather than broader flow characteristics.
