← ScienceWhich outcome indicates turbulent flow when incompressible fluid transitions?
A)Transition above critical Reynolds value✓
B)Laminar flow profile is maintained
C)Dominance of viscous inertial forces
D)Suppression of initial stochastic perturbations
💡 Explanation
Transition to turbulence manifests above critical Reynolds number because inertia overwhelms viscosity, thus causing chaotic eddy formation by Tollmien-Schlichting waves; therefore, the answer is the exceedance of critical Reynolds rather than maintaining laminar flow.
