Which consequence results when laminar airflow assumption fails?

💡 Explanation

Increased drag results upon laminar airflow failure; *Turbulence* dramatically increases skin friction because momentum transfer rises rapidly. Therefore drag increases rather than lift decreasing from Bernoulli equation, and separation occurs sooner, rather than later delaying boundary layer development.
