← ScienceWhich risk increases when substantial deviations invalidate Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equation?
A)Amplified pressure gradient estimations
B)Reduced computational fluid efficiency
C)Underestimated drag coefficient prediction
D)Erroneous turbulent kinetic-energy budgets✓
💡 Explanation
In fully turbulent flow, Reynolds stress approximations break down because the **Boussinesq approximation** within RANS modeling becomes inaccurate; therefore, energy cascade predictions become unreliable, rather than altering pressure gradients without the model.
