Which flow regime is indicated when Reynolds number increases in a pipe?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number indicates that inertial forces dominate over viscous forces, because the Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial to viscous forces; therefore the flow is more likely to transition to turbulent flow rather than remaining laminar.
