Which outcome results when channel flow transition due to increased velocity?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow initiates because the Reynolds number exceeds a critical value leading to increased inertial forces; therefore, increased velocity causes turbulent transition, rather than stabilizing the flow or decreasing shear because laminar flow is stable below this.
