← ScienceWhich effect occurs when Reynolds number increases excessively in a hydraulic damper?
A)Stable damped oscillation is promoted
B)Fluid inertia dominates viscous forces✓
C)Optimal energy dissipation increases linearly
D)Laminar flow becomes more predictable
💡 Explanation
Increased Reynolds number indicates increased inertial forces relative to viscous forces; therefore, turbulent flow develops because the inertial forces dominate the kinetic viscosity, rather than promoting linear damping scenarios inherent with only steady, laminar solutions.
