Which outcome arises from exceeding Reynolds number limits in hydraulic fracturing operations?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow increases because high injection rates surpass the viscous damping predicted by Reynolds number, therefore increased proppant settling velocity arises rather than the alternative decreased proppant transport efficacy at lower turbulence.
