Abstract: A method of determining a measure of wave speed intensity in a fluid conduit uses ultrasound measurements to determine the conduit diameter, as a function of time, at a longitudinal position of the conduit, and to determine a measure of fluid velocity, as a function of time, in a volume element at said longitudinal position of the conduit. The ultrasound measurement to determine the measure of fluid velocity is effected by decorrelation of scattering objects within the fluid flow in successive frames sampling the volume element. A wave speed may be determined from a ratio of the change in fluid velocity at the longitudinal position as a function of time and the change in a logarithmic function of the conduit diameter as a function of time. A measure of wave intensity may be determined as a function of change in determined conduit diameter and corresponding change in fluid velocity.
