← ScienceWhich flow regime occurs when viscous drag increases?
A)Laminar flow destabilizes towards turbulence✓
B)Bernoulli's principle strictly becomes applicable
C)Fluid behaves as inviscid due limitations
D)Kinetic energy converts into stable flow
💡 Explanation
Laminar flow converts into turbulent flow because the increased viscous drag leads to destabilization via the process of boundary layer separation; therefore turbulence ensues rather than stable flow since the Reynolds number overcomes threshold.
