← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when high-speed fluid exits a nozzle?
A)Onset of turbulent eddies occurs✓
B)Molecular attractive forces dominate flow
C)Fluid density becomes effectively zero
D)Static pressure forces become stabilizing
💡 Explanation
Turbulent flow emerges because the Reynolds number exceeds a critical threshold, triggering instabilities. This results in vortex shedding, rather than laminar flow or other effects; therefore, the outcome is turbulence.
