Which outcome occurs when a long-distance oil pipeline's Reynolds number significantly increases?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow emerges with heightened Reynolds number because the increased inertial forces overwhelm viscous dampening via the inertial instability mechanism; therefore, turbulence ensues, rather than smoother flow, because the dimensionless ratio exceeds a critical number within the pipe.
