Which flow characteristic results when a fluid reaches a high Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow emerges with increased Reynolds number because inertial forces overwhelm viscous forces triggering chaotic transitions; therefore erratic flow appears rather than laminar, differently to regimes in Stokes flow where viscosity is always dominant.
