← ScienceWhich hydrodynamic consequence arises when a subsonic aircraft wing's Reynolds number exceeds a critical value?
A)Boundary layer transitions to turbulence✓
B)Laminar flow becomes fully restored
C)Pressure gradient reaches equilibrium
D)Attached shock waves quickly dissipate
💡 Explanation
The boundary layer transitions to turbulence because increasing Reynolds number amplifies inertial forces relative to viscous forces, therefore this triggers turbulent flow rather than restored laminar flow because the number creates chaotic systems.
