Which mechanism allows laminar flow at higher speeds?

💡 Explanation

Increased kinematic viscosity in a fluid promotes laminar flow, because momentum diffusion resists the formation of turbulent eddies; therefore fluid flows smoothly, rather than becoming chaotic, under conditions of higher Reynolds number in the fluid.
