Which flow instability arises when a centrifugal pump impeller's Reynolds number falls significantly below its design threshold?

💡 Explanation

Diffuser stall occurs because flow separation appears at low Reynolds numbers due to increased viscous effects; therefore pressure pulsations begin, rather than direct damage because the velocity is not high enough and because energy dissipation is small.
