Which outcome occurs when exceeding channel Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Transition to turbulence causes increased momentum transfer because of chaotic eddy formation due to higher fluid velocity, and this raises shear stress. Therefore shear stress intensifies rather than viscosity dominating, because turbulence introduces entirely greater stresses.
