Which outcome results when a fluid reaches a high Reynolds number?

A)Transition to turbulent flow regime
B)Increased laminar flow stability
C)Decreased fluid frictional resistance
D)Uniform velocity profile development

💡 Explanation

Turbulence occurs when inertia dominates viscous forces, because a high Reynolds number signifies that the inertial forces are much larger. Therefore, the flow transitions to turbulent flow, rather than remaining as laminar flow under viscous forces.
