Which outcome occurs when fluid laminar flow transitions?

💡 Explanation

Increased drag results from laminar flow transitioning into turbulent flow, where the mechanism is increased momentum mixing. It increases drag because of increased energy dissipation, therefore frictional drag increases, rather than stabilizing, because viscous forces grow increasingly chaotic.
