Which outcome occurs when increased flow rate disturbs laminar layers?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence begins caused by inertial forces overpowering viscous forces, leading to chaotic fluid motion, specifically the onset of turbulent flow, because the shear stress escalates with turbulent mixing; therefore turbulence happens, rather than idealized laminar flow which only occurs at low Reynolds numbers.
