Which mechanism predicts increased laminar flow instability using Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Laminar flow becomes unstable with high Reynolds numbers because viscous shear forces, indicated by the Reynolds number exceeding a threshold, are overcome by inertial forces, therefore turbulence rises, rather than laminar maintaining due to viscous dominance at lower fluid velocities.
