Before I say anything.

TURBULENCE IS NOT A PRIMARY GOAL OF WATER BLOCK DESIGN. HAVING LOADS OF TURBULENCE MEANS DIDDLY SQUAT.

The main thing loads of turbulence means to me is that you are having loads of unnecessary pressure drop. It can decrease block performance by creating recirculation zones.

Secondly boundary layer has no concept in this kind of block. It is just a science word in this case.

Some due to height (maybe), velocities are definitely a function of turbulence. So you can say turbulent varies with height but it is more complicated than that and beyond what is needed here.

~60% of the pressure loss comes from the jets but 100% of the performance comes from them.
