← ScienceWhich outcome signifies that a fluid flow transitions via Reynolds number?
A)Inertial forces dominate viscous forces✓
B)Viscous forces promote laminar flow
C)Increased pressure stabilizes the flow
D)Fluid viscosity completely stops the process
💡 Explanation
Turbulence begins due to increasing Reynolds number; this destabilizes flow, because inertial forces overcome viscous forces. Therefore, inertial dominance represents transition to turbulence rather than maintaining smooth laminar flow where viscous forces dominate.
