Which consequence of fluid flow arises when Navier-Stokes equations become unsolvable?

A)Transition to turbulent flow
B)Laminar flow rate increases
C)Fluid viscosity decreases
D)Reynolds number approaches zero

💡 Explanation

When the Navier-Stokes equations cannot be solved analytically, the fluid dynamics become too complex to predict, therefore transition to turbulent flow occurs involving chaotic fluctuations, because energy is dissipated rather than maintaining laminar order.
