Science

Which boundary-layer effect increases when wind turbine load fluctuations cause onset of substantial turbulence?

A)Decreased aerodynamic efficiency results
B)Increased blade icing accelerates
C)Increased laminar flow transition results
D)Decreased structural fatigue worsens

💡 Explanation

Increased turbulence enhances unsteady loading and vibration via vortex shedding; fatigue worsens because cyclic stresses accumulate, therefore leading to structural weaknesses rather than improved aerodynamic efficiency because turbulence disrupts airflow and increases drag.
