← ScienceWhich risk increases when control surfaces induce turbulence?
A)Aerodynamic heating intensifies downstream✓
B)Boundary layer remains fully laminar
C)Lift-to-drag ratio improves greatly
D)Buffeting decreases unexpectedly
💡 Explanation
Aerodynamic heating intensifies downstream with turbulence because the increased mixing and energy dissipation leads to **turbulent kinetic energy**. Localized high-energy eddies impact the surface, therefore heating is concentrated rather than being uniformly distributed across the airfoil's surface.
