Which risk increases when a fluid pump exceeds critical Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Increasing Reynolds number means turbulent flow occurs where boundary layer separation produces low-pressure zones; this encourages the phase transition from liquid to vapor called cavitation, because the local pressure falls below saturation, therefore erosion increases due pressure implosion rather than a different flow profile.
