Which outcome occurs when a microfluidic channel excessively increases flow?

💡 Explanation

Flow increase raises the Reynolds number; surpassing a critical value causes transition to turbulence because inertial forces overcome viscous forces, therefore turbulent flow increases rather than laminar flow, which maintains lower Reynolds number conditions.
