Kinetic energy cascade calculated from the Womersley exact solution. Solid lines represent the energy cascade at the center (blue) and \(1\mathrm{ \mu m}\) from the wall (red) and dashed lines represent the log fitting to show the slope of the cascade, based on the boundary conditions representing (a) aortic root [approx. slope:\(-\frac{15}{4},-\frac{8}{3}\)] (b) thoracic aorta [approx. slope:\(-\frac{43}{10},-\frac{10}{3}\)] (c) carotid artery [approx. slope:\(-\frac{13}{5},-\frac{5}{3}\)] and (d) iliac artery [approx. slope:\(-5,-4\)].
