← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a fluid's number exceeds transition thresholds?
A)Laminar flow becomes fully turbulent✓
B)Viscosity significantly decreases overall
C)Surface tension forces dominate internally
D)Fluid density becomes essentially constant
💡 Explanation
Turbulent flow emerges because above a specific Reynolds' number, inertial forces overcome viscous forces leading to a cascade. Therefore, chaotic eddies cause less predictable fluid motion, rather than remaining as laminar flow.
