← ScienceWhich mechanism results when a fluid exceeds Reynolds limit?
A)Fluid flow shifts towards turbulence✓
B)Viscosity effects become negligible slowly
C)Increased laminar lubrication is predictable
D)Compressible conditions cease being relevant
💡 Explanation
Flow transitions as inertial forces overcome viscous damping; therefore, turbulence increases, because inertia dominates rather than viscosity; instead, compressibility and laminar flow affect other flow characteristics.
