Which risk increases when designing a hydrofoil operating near cavitation limits?

💡 Explanation

Premature fatigue increases because boundary layer turbulence intensifies due to the **cavitation erosion** process on the hydrofoil surface. Therefore, structural integrity is compromised, rather than increased efficiency, because the turbulent flow induces high-stress fluctuations.
