← ScienceWhich consequence results downstream when the Reynolds number increases significantly in an aircraft's hydraulic servo?
A)Increased laminar flow stability margins
B)Elevated potential for control surface flutter✓
C)Decreased pump efficiency requirements always
D)Diminished overall system contamination sensitivity
💡 Explanation
Elevated Reynolds number indicates a transition to turbulent flow. Turbulent flow introduces energy dissipation via increased frictional losses due to viscous effects; therefore, flutter risk increases because the servo response oscillates, rather than providing stable control related to design.
