From the upper right plot in Figure 2, we see that the outstanding feature of the pdf for $dP$, $\phi(dP)$ is a distinct peak at $dP \approx -
7$ 8$ Pa. This corresponds to the nearly constant pressure change during the diastolic period when the pressure is falling at an almost constant rate. There are a number of smaller peaks that correspond to other features on the $P$ waveform, but these are relatively less important. In the lower right plot in Figure 2, there is a similar peak in $\phi(\rho cdU$ at approximately 0 Pa. This reflects the very small velocity in the middle of the vessel during diastole. Again there are a number of small peaks at negative values of $zro cdU$ corresponding to other features of the $U$ waveform.
The proposed method for calculating the local wave speed is based on the observation that while there is no direct theoretical relationship between the measured (or in this case calculated) $dP$ and $dU$ both of these parameters are equal to the sum of contributions from a forward (+) and a backward (-) wave and that the water hammer equations provide a theoretical relationship between these separated waves, $dP_\pm = \pm \rho cdU_\pm$.
