Which inaccuracy occurs when increased viscosity violates Bernoulli's equation?

A)Increased form drag around bluff bodies
B)Decreased hydrostatic pressure measurement accuracy
C)Overestimation of turbulent kinetic energy
D)Boundary layer separation point is delayed

💡 Explanation

Increased viscosity means viscous forces cause momentum dissipation, increasing form drag, because the assumption of negligible viscosity underpinning Bernoulli's equation is substantially violated; therefore drag increases, rather than any other flow property being affected under ideal conditions.
