← ScienceWhich outcome reduces aerodynamic lift as Reynolds number increases?
A)Increased pressure above the wing
B)Delayed boundary layer separation
C)Advancing separation-induced stall✓
D)Decreased turbulence near wingtip
💡 Explanation
Increased Reynolds number transitions flow to turbulence, thus *separation-induced stall* becomes likely, because turbulent flow has a higher kinetic energy. Therefore, stall is more probable, rather than a maintenance of laminar pressure profiles which increases the flow around a wing.
