Which risk increases when designing a high-speed hydrofoil with an aggressively curved foil shape?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence risk increases because aggressive curvature promotes an adverse pressure gradient causing flow separation; boundary layer transition occurs. Increased turbulence leads to elevated drag; therefore hydrofoil efficiency is reduced, rather than simple corrosion or cavitation.
