Which phenomenon inhibits flow when critical number surpassed?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow is triggered when the Reynolds number rises above a critical value, because inertial forces dominate the viscous forces and instabilities grow via shear disruption; therefore turbulent, rather than, laminar flow follows where viscous damping is strong enough.
