Which risk increases drastically in a hydraulic system when fluid velocity solutions diverge radically from the Navier-Stokes equation?

💡 Explanation

A turbulent flow regime yields increased risk of cavitation bubbles because decreases in pressure cause regions of the fluid to vaporize. This process is driven by the Bernoulli effect, therefore cavitation occurs, rather than smooth or steady fluid flow.
