Which regime change results when flow velocity increases through a venturi?

A)Laminar to turbulent flow transition
B)Increased viscosity decreases flow
C)Reduced pressure increases cavitation risk
D)Exit velocity matches inlet velocity

💡 Explanation

A laminar to turbulent transition occurs because exceeding a critical Reynolds number causes vortex shedding and chaotic motion, leading to turbulence rather than smooth flow; therefore the transition occurs, rather than matched inlet-outlet velocities.
