Which result occurs when molten metal's Reynolds number exceeds a threshold?

💡 Explanation

A high Reynolds number indicates inertial forces dominate, therefore, leading to the onset of turbulent flow. This is because turbulent flow arises from increased kinetic energy overcoming viscous damping, rather than promoting laminar stability.
