Which mechanism initiates turbulent transition as Reynolds number increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number leads to instability; the Tollmien-Schlichting wave amplification causes turbulence because initially small boundary oscillations grow exponentially. These are amplified, therefore accelerating turbulence rather than stabilizing layer impacts because inertia dominates viscosity.
