Table 2.

Pressure detected in the common carotid artery and buttock (n = 5)

Group (m/s) Diameter of transient cavity (cm) Pressure in the artery (Kpa) Pressure in the buttock (Kpa)
1000 16.43 ± 1.00 27.35 ± 2.79 650.20 ± 165.57
2000 25.83 ± 3.82 b 35.17 ± 5.23 b 1209.40 ± 432.95
3000 30.00 ± 4.58 a 66.31 ± 14.04 a 2011.40 ± 233.77 b
4000 39.50 ± 6.76 a 144.82 ± 35.01 a 3330.00 ± 494.82 a

This diameter was acquired by measured the longest length of the transient cavity in the photo captured by the high speed-camera

This is the highest positive pressure detected in the common carotid artery

This is the highest positive pressure detected in the buttocks. Compared to the group of 1000 m/s, a < 0.01, b < 0.05
