← ScienceWhich consequence arises when computational fluid dynamics oversimplifies Navier-Stokes equations?
A)Laminar flow is incorrectly predicted
B)Turbulence dissipation becomes underestimated✓
C)Viscosity calculations stay essentially unaffected
D)Boundary layer thickness is accurately determined
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulence dissipation approximation results because the eddy viscosity models, a simplification of the Navier-Stokes equations, fail to accurately capture energy transfer. The dissipation is thus lower than its true value, rather than accurately modeling turbulence.
