Relationship between pressure recovery (i.e., reduction of advection) and energy loss (i.e., turbulence dissipation) across the 28 experimental conditions of workbench 2, colour coded accordingly to their stenotic level (Peak advective pressure drop; ΔPSAW). Each line is built by the amount of advection (by ΔPSAW, in mmHg, Y axis) and the dissipation accumulated (by turbulence, in mmHg, X axis) at each point along the centreline of the vessel phantom. The low stenotic lines (i.e. weaker momentum in the jet) correspond to the more irregular (i.e. noisy) relationships. On opposition, the larger the stenotic level, the better the agreement. Furthermore the agreement is better as more momentum has been recovered
