Which outcome results when computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations underestimate mesh Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Numerical diffusion increases when mesh Reynolds number is underestimated because energy dissipation becomes artificially enhanced by numerical errors. Therefore solution accuracy will be lower, rather than higher allowing physically accurate turbulence modeling.
