Which outcome contributes to separation when the Reynolds number increases past thresholds in airfoil design?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number causes transition to turbulence; therefore, turbulent kinetic energy amplification develops because increased momentum transfer within the boundary layer enhances separation rather than delaying it as in laminar flow at lower Reynolds numbers.
