Which mechanism creates increased drag on submerged turbine blades?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence causes flow separation, increasing drag because momentum transfer from the surrounding fluid reduces near the blade surface, creating an adverse pressure gradient. Therefore, flow separation increases drag, rather than decreasing frictional resistance, aiding pressure recovery, or increasing laminar flow.
