Which outcome results from exceeding laminar flow limits?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the Reynolds number's laminar limit induces boundary layer transition to turbulence, causing increased flow control instability because flow becomes chaotic, therefore the loss of control rises, rather than other drag effects becoming primary problems.
