Which consequence results when rapid fluid flow generates turbulence around an airplane wing, assessed using the Navier-Stokes equation?

💡 Explanation

The turbulent flow causes boundary layer separation on the airfoil, where viscous forces overcome the pressure gradient, therefore lift decreases dramatically, rather than pressure increasing because the separated flow reduces the effective size.
