Which outcome becomes probable when Reynolds number increases dramatically in a pipe?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence emerges because increased velocity and inertial forces contribute to flow instabilities triggering a transition governed by The onset of turbulence. Therefore, turbulent flow develops, rather than stable laminar flow, because inertial forces overcome viscous damping.
