During crude oil pipeline transport, what happens if Reynolds number increases significantly?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number indicates higher inertial forces relative to viscous forces; therefore, transition to fully turbulent flow occurs because inertial forces overcome viscous damping, rather than maintaining stable laminar flow.
