Which consequence results when the Navier-Stokes equations become computationally intractable in simulating hypersonic airflow around an aircraft?

💡 Explanation

Inability correctly to solve Navier-Stokes equations, because of computational limits, necessitates simplified models for boundary layer heat flux estimations; therefore the thermal protection system design is compromised, rather than inaccurate aerodynamic forces; the mechanism is approximate heat transfer modeling.
