Which outcome results when a fluid's Reynolds number exceeds design limits in subsonic airfoils?

💡 Explanation

Increased form drag and stall arises because exceeding design Reynolds number generates turbulent flow. This induces boundary layer separation, a phenomenon termed 'turbulent transition,' therefore greatly changing form drag, rather than improving predicted performance in any way under this condition.
