← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when thermals are turbulent during soaring?
A)Decreased lift due to flow separation✓
B)Reduced drag via boundary layer control
C)Enhanced thrust from vortex shedding
D)Greater structural strain due to resonance
💡 Explanation
Decreased lift results because increased atmospheric variations disrupts smooth airflow. Wing aerodynamic lift stalls with flow separation, a boundary-layer transition problem. This increases drag and decreases lift suddenly; airflow must remain stable, rather than laminar conditions failing.
