Which outcome affects laminar airflow when Reynold's number increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number amplifies inertial forces relative to viscous forces, leading to transition to turbulence through the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, because the system is less able to dampen disturbances. Therefore, turbulent conditions prevail, rather than laminar flow being sustained or viscosity dominating.
