← ScienceWhich risk increases when turbulent kinetic energy overwhelms dissipation?
A)Increased boundary layer separation✓
B)Decreased form drag coefficient
C)Enhanced laminar flow stability
D)Reduced momentum diffusion rate
💡 Explanation
An increase in turbulent kinetic energy causes increased boundary layer separation because fluctuations in pressure lead to reversed flow according to the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Therefore, flow separation increases rather than decreased drag since turbulence promotes momentum transfer.
