Which outcome affects downstream mixing when fluid's Reynolds number exceeds a threshold?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow regime leads to increased mixing, because above appropriate Reynolds numbers, inertial forces dominate via the Inertial Cascade mechanism, causing chaotic eddy formation; therefore, turbulent flows mix more efficiently, rather than remaining stratified like viscosity-dominant laminar flow.
