← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding critical Reynolds number in aero turbines?
A)Laminar flow transitions to turbulence✓
B)Blade stall angle increases
C)Chord length requirements decrease
D)Tip vortices become insignificant
💡 Explanation
Increased Reynolds number within aero turbines leads to laminar flow transitioning to turbulence because inertial forces overcome viscous forces, therefore drag increases on the blades rather than stall angle increasing because of angle of attack changes.
