← ScienceWhich outcome arises when a Reynolds number shifts?
A)Turbulent flow regimes develop abruptly✓
B)Static pressure increases predictably
C)Liquid exhibits Newtonian viscosity
D)Laminar drag coefficients change proportionally
💡 Explanation
Turbulent flow develops because exceeding a critical Reynolds number triggers a laminar-to-turbulent transition, initiating instabilities. Therefore, flow becomes turbulent rather than remaining laminar; this transition does not predict pressure or viscosity directly.
