← ScienceWhich consequence results when insufficient boundary layer control triggers turbulence?
A)Increased hydrodynamic drag✓
B)Elevated bulk temperature
C)Decreased momentum transfer
D)Diminished cavitation inception
💡 Explanation
Increased hydrodynamic drag rises fast when turbulent flow replaces laminar because flow separation alters the pressure distribution, therefore, overall drag increases from form drag, rather than a reduction in momentum transfer.
