Coupled conditions of Ω and Re in the physiological mammalian systemic artery, which render x to get close to 2.70 as predicted by the rigid model.

Ω	5	20	40	60
Re	70	300	500	800
x	2.69	2.68	2.71	2.70

Re, Reynolds number, defined by equation 32; x, radius exponent, computed by equation 33 with coupled values of Ω and Re under α = 1.0. α and Ω represent exponent and proportional coefficients of the relationship between vessel length and radius, respectively, defined by equation 17.
