← ScienceWhich risk increases when numerical integration of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) functions exceeds stable limits?
A)Incompressible flow becoming compressible
B)Convergent solutions becoming numerically oscillatory✓
C)Viscosity calculations spontaneously vanishing
D)Specified boundary conditions getting ignored
💡 Explanation
Numerical instability arises because discretizing governing equations using approximate functions introduces errors that become amplified when integration steps exceed stability criteria, causing oscillatory solutions rather than converging; therefore instabilities increase, not non-physical fluid property changes.
