Which outcome occurs when the hydraulic fluid velocity in an aircraft's actuator reaches values exceeding specific Reynolds number thresholds?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow dominates fluid behavior above the critical Reynolds number because the inertial forces overwhelm viscous forces (transition to turbulence). Therefore, increased turbulent flow, hence, energy dissipation, rather than stable laminar flow happen at very high pump pressure.
