← ScienceWhich regime results when the Reynolds number exceeds 4000 in a pipe?
A)Fully developed turbulent flow forms✓
B)Laminar flow profile becomes parabolic
C)Viscous forces strongly damp oscillations
D)Entrance length regions grow substantially
💡 Explanation
When the Reynolds number exceeds 4000, inertial forces dominate, therefore fully developed turbulent flow exists because the inertial forces overcome viscous damping and cause chaotic eddies rather than either laminar or entrance effects.
