Which consequence arises when incompressible airflow near a racing car exceeds the critical Mach number?

💡 Explanation

Shock waves form due to Compressibility, creating a local pressure increase, and thus, an increase in drag overall. Because this wave drag becomes significant, therefore overall drag increases sharply, rather than remaining constant as the Reynolds number shifts.
