Which outcome results when turbulence overwhelms a boundary layer?

💡 Explanation

Increased vessel drag and erosion occurs because turbulent flow causes boundary layer separation, resulting in increased pressure drag rather than streamlined flow; therefore, drag increases substantially at higher speeds, rather than offering reduced friction.
