← ScienceWhich risk increases when fluid velocity reaches a limit derived using Bernoulli's equation in aircraft wing design?
A)Boundary layer turbulent flow increases✓
B)Skin friction drag coefficient decreases
C)Laminar flow reduces pressure drag
D)Lift-induced vortex minimizes drag
💡 Explanation
Boundary layer turbulent flow increases because exceeding a critical velocity predicted by the Bernoulli equation promotes transition to turbulence, therefore increasing drag and reducing lift, rather than laminar flow persistence at higher speeds.
