Which outcome immediately threatens when hydraulic actuator's Reynolds number increases significantly?

💡 Explanation

A high Reynolds number indicates inertia dominates, causing transition from smooth laminar layers to unpredictable turbulence which leads to increased drag and energy loss; therefore flow becomes more turbulent rather than less turbulent and therefore less stable flow.
