← ScienceWhich consequence results when the Reynolds number significantly increases within an aircraft's hydraulic control system?
A)Increased laminar flow stability margins
B)Decreased pressure drop across valves
C)Onset of turbulent flow regime✓
D)Enhanced lubrication of system components
💡 Explanation
Increased Reynolds number signifies inertial forces dominate viscous forces, leading to the onset of turbulent flow because instabilities grow faster; therefore, turbulence ensues, rather than laminar flow becoming more stable because increased viscosity dampens disturbances.
