Which parameter change most reliably laminarizes a pump's turbulent flow?

💡 Explanation

Laminarizing turbulent flow typically requires reducing the Reynolds number; *increasing viscosity* does this directly, because it damps eddy formation. Therefore increasing viscosity is ideal rather than increasing flow which enhances turbulence; surface roughness has little effect.
