← ScienceWhich mechanism induces drag increases as airflow separates approaching stall?
A)Adverse pressure gradient domination✓
B)Favored laminar boundary detachment
C)Decreased form drag correlation
D)Augmented favorable interference pattern
💡 Explanation
An adverse pressure gradient causes boundary layer separation, inducing turbulent flow because the pressure increases in the direction of flow. Therefore, separation increases drag in the wing's wake by the pressure overcoming the air's initial momentum, rather than laminar conditions, which reduce it.
