Which outcome increases as hydraulic fracturing fluid injection enters turbulent flow?

A)Erosion within the fracture network
B)Fluid density near the injection point
C)Pore pressure near stratum interface
D)Viscosity of fracturing fluid utilized

💡 Explanation

Erosion increases in hydraulic fracturing because turbulent flow causes increased shear stress; the Reynolds number surpasses a critical value, therefore more energy dissipates into rock erosion, rather than maintaining consistent flow.
