Which consequence results when a Newtonian fluid's viscosity is incorrectly assumed within the Navier-Stokes equation?

💡 Explanation

The Navier-Stokes equation relies on accurate fluid property input; the assumption about Newtonian fluid leads to erroneous viscosity values modeled with incorrect *Reynolds stress*. Therefore, turbulent flow simulations will predict inaccurate behaviours because the energy dissipation via viscous friction deviates, rather than match observed flow physics.
