Which outcome is accelerated when a fluid's Reynolds number exceeds a specific threshold?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number indicates inertial forces dominate viscous ones, because a high number triggers the transition to turbulence. Therefore, turbulent flow grows rapidly, rather than the other options which are related to laminar conditions.
