Which effect significantly reduces jet engine thrust, because flow exceeds critical Re?

💡 Explanation

High Reynolds number causes flow field transitions leading to increased viscous air friction loss affecting engine thrust. Flow separation occurs near the compressor fan because this elevated value, therefore decreasing thrust, rather than improving combustion which would boost power.
