Steady versus pulsatile inflow condition effects on the Reynolds stress characteristics. (a) Axial planes colored by the turbulence kinetic energy (k), anisotropy index (), and barycentric AIM. (b) Deviation maps, showing the root–mean–square (, Eq. 16) and individual differences (, superscripts: steady, pulsatile), of the AIM weights ranging from [0, 1]. (c) Barycentric maps with 50k points colored by k. Additional details are given in Fig. 3
