Which condition promotes turbulence when a fluid flows around a bluff body?

💡 Explanation

A high Reynolds number indicates stronger inertial forces relative to viscous forces; this promotes the transition to turbulence because instability amplifies small disturbances, therefore a turbulent wake forms, rather than a stable laminar flow.
