Which outcome occurs when estimating fluid forces using the Euler equation but neglecting viscous effects?

💡 Explanation

Neglecting viscosity means the Navier-Stokes equations reduce to Euler equations, causing pressure gradient calculation errors because the viscous stress tensor is set to zero, thus impacting the pressure estimation. Therefore, pressure gradients are wrong, rather than accurately modeling the boundary layer.
