Which increased risk occurs when a fluid's Reynolds number exceeds design limits within an aircraft's hydraulic actuator?

💡 Explanation

Elevated Reynolds number encourages turbulent flow, a consequence of increased inertial forces relative to viscous forces, because the increased turbulence raises friction along the pipe walls, therefore pressure losses increase, rather than stabilize or dampen, impacting the actuator's functionality.
