The correct answer is C. turbulent flow.
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless number that is used to characterize the flow of a fluid. It is defined as the ratio of the inertial forces to the viscous forces in the fluid. A large Reynolds number indicates that the inertial forces are much greater than the viscous forces, which means that the flow is turbulent.
Laminar flow is a type of flow in which the fluid particles move in smooth, parallel layers. Turbulent flow is a type of flow in which the fluid particles move in a chaotic, unpredictable manner. Highly turbulent flow is a type of flow in which the fluid particles move in a very chaotic, unpredictable manner.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- Option A: smooth and streamline flow. This is not the correct answer because a large Reynolds number indicates turbulent flow, not smooth and streamline flow.
- Option B: laminar flow. This is not the correct answer because a large Reynolds number indicates turbulent flow, not laminar flow.
- Option C: turbulent flow. This is the correct answer because a large Reynolds number indicates turbulent flow.
- Option D: highly turbulent flow. This is not the correct answer because a large Reynolds number does not necessarily indicate highly turbulent flow.
