← ScienceWhich frictional outcome results when Reynolds number exceeds limit?
A)Increased turbulent drag dramatically increases✓
B)Skin friction decreases to zero level
C)Laminar flow regime becomes stabilized
D)Pressure drag starts reducing noticeably
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulent drag happens because the Reynolds number quantifies the ratio of inertial to viscous forces; therefore, exceeding a critical value triggers a transition to turbulent flow, rather than drag decreasing or laminar flow becoming stable.
