Which outcome prevails when Reynolds number exceeds threshold?

A)Laminar flow transitions to turbulence
B)Viscosity increases fluid momentum
C)Diffusion dominates convective transport
D)Surface tension stabilizes fluid interface

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow begins because inertia forces dominate viscous damping; therefore disrupts laminar streamlines through increased momentum transfer via eddy formation, rather than stabilized flow. Diffusion will not exclusively dominate because turbulence enhances convection.
