Which transition occurs as Reynolds number increases within arterial blood flow?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow begins because a higher Reynolds number shows inertial forces now dominate viscous forces thereby triggering the instability. Therefore laminar flow goes turbulent, rather than viscosity increasing, where flow becomes steadier, or fully adhering to Poiseuille's ideal.
