Which outcome signifies flow regime transition according Reynolds number increase within porous media?

A)Darcy's law loses predictive power
B)Capillary forces dominate fluid motion
C)Molecular diffusion overwhelms convection
D)Surface tension minimizes interfacial area

💡 Explanation

Laminar to turbulent transition invalidates Darcy's law, because inertial forces become significant; therefore Darcy's predictive capability diminishes, rather than capillary forces dominating or diffusion/surface tension increasing, which are relevant and dominate at lower Reynolds numbers instead.
