Which increased risk occurs to hydraulic systems exposed to high fluid flow?

A)Cavitation erosion of valve components
B)Reduced fluid bulk modulus stability
C)Increased laminar boundary layer thickness
D)Decreased seal material oxidation rate

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erosion increases because the Reynolds number indicates turbulent, high-velocity flow initiates vapour bubble formation and collapse, thus causing material damage. Therefore, cavitation erosion increases rather than reduced bulk modulus because high velocity is key.
