Which outcome arises when a Reynolds number shifts?

💡 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.
