← ScienceWhich fluid phenomenon initiates when Reynolds number increases?
A)Laminar flow transitions become turbulent✓
B)Viscosity increases proportionally every time
C)Fluid density approaches incompressible limits
D)Cavitation occurrence dramatically declines instead
💡 Explanation
Turbulence arises when disruptive inertial forces overcome stabilizing viscous force identified in the Reynolds number; therefore, flow regime changes form laminar to turbulent rather than the inverse situation or alterations that modify viscosity and density.
