Principles of Flightmedium#584
The boundary layer transitions from laminar to turbulent due to:
A
Decreasing Reynolds number
B
Wing dihedral
C
Decreasing airspeed
D
Increasing Reynolds number, surface roughness, or adverse pressure gradient
CorrectExplanation
Transition is promoted by higher Reynolds number (speed, distance), surface roughness, and adverse pressure gradients.
