← ScienceWhich outcome can occur when pipe flow exceeds a Reynolds limit?
A)Transition to turbulent flow type✓
B)Increased laminar sublayer smoothness
C)Decreased form drag coefficient
D)Elevated static pressure recovery
💡 Explanation
Flow becomes turbulent, therefore increasing energy dissipation, because the Reynolds number signifies the ratio of inertial to viscous forces; viscous damping can't maintain laminar flow, rather than maintaining smooth streamlines.
