← ScienceWhich outcome occurs downstream when fluid velocity elevates across a compressor stator?
A)Increased boundary layer flow reversal✓
B)Decreased Reynold-stress turbulence production
C)Laminar sublayer thickness increases rapidly
D)Elevated static pressure gradient stability
💡 Explanation
Flow reversal occurs because the adverse pressure gradient increases energy dissipation via viscous forces. Therefore, boundary layer separation is promoted, rather than turbulence production being suppressed; high Reynolds number flows make laminar sublayers thinner, not thicker under separation.
