Which phenomenon prevents accurate flow measurement using Bernoulli's equation at high Reynolds numbers?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence negates the assumptions of steady, laminar flow crucial for Bernoulli’s equation; energy dissipates via eddies due to viscous forces, rather than conforming to streamline assumptions. Therefore, turbulent kinetic energy dominates, rather than a simple pressure-velocity relationship, because the equation is valid only for laminar flow.
