Which consequence results when flow-induced vibration excites turbulence in an oil pipeline carrying crude?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence increases erosion because the increased shear stress at the pipe wall results in more aggressive material removal. Therefore, increased erosion dominates, rather than increased viscosity preventing momentum transfer or lower Reynolds number indicating less turbulence.
