← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when high Reynolds number flow violates Bernoulli's equation?
A)Increased kinetic energy is conserved
B)Energy losses trigger turbulent dissipation✓
C)Streamlines remain perfectly laminar throughout
D)Pressure directly equals a constant value
💡 Explanation
When inertial forces dominate viscous forces at high Reynolds numbers, the flow becomes turbulent, hence the kinetic energy is dissipated by viscous forces acting within the fluid; this is turbulent dissipation, because significant energy is transferred rather than being conserved like laminar flow.
