Which flow state arises when pipe diameter decreases, holding other parameters constant?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing diameter increases fluid velocity, therefore increasing the Reynolds number; at a high Reynolds number the inertial forces dominate viscous forces, leading to transition to turbulent flow rather than maintaining laminar due to viscous damping.
