Which effect occurs when pressure overcomes viscous stress?

A)Turbulent flow state transition
B)Constant laminar flow rate
C)Decreased shear stresses
D)Increased fluid density

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow transition occurs because, beyond aReynolds number threshold, inertial forces dominate, and viscous forces cannot stabilize flow. Therefore, turbulence appears rather than consistent laminar flow because of lower internal viscous friction inhibiting chaotic motion.
