Which risk increases when a fluid control valve's Reynolds number exceeds a threshold?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation risk rises because increased Reynolds numbers promote turbulent flow in the valve, creating low-pressure zones where the fluid vaporizes. Therefore, the bubbles collapse violently, eroding the valve, rather than harmonic resonance which requires vibration, or deposition which relates to fluid chemistry.
