← ScienceWhich behavior results when attempting fully laminar airflow?
A)Increased pressure drop at constrictions✓
B)Decreased momentum diffusion efficiency
C)Diminished boundary layer thickness overall
D)Mitigated eddy formation at higher speeds
💡 Explanation
Increased pressure drop appears, because maintaining laminar flow through constrictions requires additional energy against viscous forces, triggering viscous dissipation represented in the Navier-Stokes equations. Therefore, pressure energy drops, rather than increasing momentum because of inertia, if flow were turbulent.
