← ScienceWhich effect complicates aerodynamic analysis when airspeed nears the turbulent transition region?
A)Increased friction between laminar layers
B)Viscosity influences inertial momentum transfer✓
C)Compressibility decreases air density
D)Higher lift coefficient increases drag
💡 Explanation
In the turbulent transition region, momentum transfer becomes highly dependent on viscosity effects, because momentum diffuses by viscous shear rather than smoothly, therefore inertial momentum transfer becomes difficult to analyze accurately, rather than relying on calculations for laminar flow.
