Which mechanism causes flow deceleration in narrow capillaries?

💡 Explanation

Increased viscous boundary layer interaction acts against fluid momentum in capillaries, because the **no-slip condition** increases contact with the container walls; therefore, flow decelerates, rather than accelerating due to pressure.
