Which outcome results when the energy cascade is disrupted in developed turbulence?

A)Pressure fluctuations intensify locally
B)Reynolds stresses become negligible
C)Viscosity influences large eddies
D)Bernoulli's equation remains universally applicable

💡 Explanation

In fully developed turbulence, the energy cascade conveys energy from large to small eddies; disrupting this, for instance by geometric constraint, increases pressure fluctuations rather than stabilizing flow, because energy accumulates at affected scales. Therefore, pressure fluctuations intensify, rather than dissipating. Bernoulli's equation struggles with turbulent flow.
