Which risk dramatically escalates when increasing flow velocity through a crude oil pipeline causes turbulence?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced turbulence correlates with an increased pipeline corrosion rate because eddy currents disrupt the protective boundary layer, accelerating electrochemical reactions at the pipe wall; therefore, corrosion risk escalates rather than cavitation or heat transfer impacts which don't heavily rely on boundary layer stability.
