← ScienceWhich outcome arises when exceeding Reynolds number limits within marine paint?
A)Increased pigment particle settling rate✓
B)Enhanced anticorrosive self-healing effects
C)Significant decrease in drag reduction
D)Promoted uniform biocide release profile
💡 Explanation
Turbulent flow due to exceeding the Reynolds number causes increased shear stresses, accelerating pigment settling because the increased energy overcomes interparticle adhesive forces. Therefore, option A occurs rather than uniform biocide release because turbulence disturbs the settled particles.
