Which cavitation risk increases when hydraulic fluid viscosity drops?

A)Increased turbulent flow energy
B)Reduced component lubrication ability
C)Elevated fluid bulk modulus
D)Decreased air entrainment potential

💡 Explanation

Lower viscosity fluids increase the probability of turbulent flow, resulting in pressure fluctuations above vapor pressure; therefore increased turbulent flow reduces the local pressure, forming vapor bubbles rather than preventing cavitation.
