Which flow regime occurs when viscous drag increases?

💡 Explanation

Laminar flow converts into turbulent flow because the increased viscous drag leads to destabilization via the process of boundary layer separation; therefore turbulence ensues rather than stable flow since the Reynolds number overcomes threshold.
