← ScienceWhich outcome arises when fluid is forced inside narrow constrictions?
A)Increased turbulent boundary layer formation✓
B)Decreased Reynolds number; laminar flow
C)Reduced fluid momentum diffusivity rate
D)Increased fluid kinematic viscosity effects
💡 Explanation
Turbulent boundary layer formation increases adjacent to pipe constrictions because significant changes in fluid velocity cause an increase in Reynolds number leading to turbulence, rather than suppressing it through viscosity; therefore turbulence increases, rather than a laminar region.
