Which outcome results when a microfluidic channel narrows significantly?

💡 Explanation

At small scales, a reduction in channel size dramatically lowers the Reynolds number; therefore viscous forces become greater than inertial forces because the Momentum Diffusion mechanism dampens turbulent effects rather than inertial instability dominating as in wider channels.
