Which outcome occurs when turbulent river flow exceeds certain Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Above a critical Reynolds number, transition to turbulence causes increased mixing because this enhanced chaotic advection dominates; therefore, pollutant dispersion increases rather than decreasing sediment erosion, which is affected by bed shear stress.
