Which outcome raises the skin friction coefficient in an aircraft turbulent boundary layer?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface roughness enhances momentum transfer due to turbulent kinetic energy generation which promotes friction; this is due to increased Reynolds number which causes turbulence. Increasing surface roughness raises the measured friction drag rather than decreasing it with smoother surfaces because a rougher surface encourages turbulence.
