Within a converging-diverging nozzle, what scenario results from over-expansion?

💡 Explanation

Boundary layer separation occurs due to the adverse pressure gradient; pressure increases faster than predicted when the assumed exit pressure doesn't match ambient pressure entering the expansion portion of the nozzle. This pressure change causes reversed flow, triggering flow separation rather than smooth transitions because viscous forces near a wall cannot withstand the opposing pressure increase.
