Which outcome results when excessive fluid velocity surpasses design thresholds in a microfluidic device?

💡 Explanation

Increased chaotic advection occurs due to turbulent flow. When velocity exceeds the designed limit, inertial forces dominate, triggering the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability; therefore, the mixing is maximized, rather than laminar flow, since the regime changes to the turbulent.
