Which outcome is worsened as channel width decreases, influencing microfluidic device laminar flow?

💡 Explanation

Reducing channel width increases Reynolds number sensitivity, because slight velocity changes significantly alter inertial forces, triggering turbulence via the entrance length effect; therefore laminar stability decreases, rather than bulk fluid effects dominating.
