Which phenomenon promotes laminar flow stabilization with a viscous fluid introduced into tubing at decreasing Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Decreased Reynolds number reduces inertial forces relative to viscous forces, leading to decreased momentum diffusivity; that's because viscous dampening dominates. Therefore, laminar flow stabilizes, rather than transitions to turbulence because inertial effects diminish.
