Which outcome results involving a submerged drone when laminar flow transitions to turbulent flow?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow increases boundary layer thickness because increased mixing via momentum diffusion enlarges it; this transition happens at a critical Reynolds number. The thickness increases, therefore, rather than, reducing vortex shedding as skin friction drag increases.
