Which flow regime emerges when Reynolds number surges?

💡 Explanation

When the Reynolds number increases, laminar flow transitions due to increased inertial forces promoting the **onset of turbulence**, because these forces overcome viscous damping, therefore a turbulent flow manifests rather than steady laminar flow; viscosity limits it.
