Which consequence results when exceeding a submarine propeller's Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the Reynolds number causes laminar flow transition to turbulent flow, increasing drag and noise because the increased inertial forces cause instability and eddy formation triggering the disruption of the ideal flow rather than anything else; therefore, turbulence ensues.
