They mentioned that the problem of viscous flow inside an elastic tube must take into account both the tangential stress and the axial varying internal pressure acting on the inner surface.
Damping function can be obtained experimentally by two different methods: 1) by direct experiments in step shear and 2) by a derivation from the tangential stress in transient experiments (proposed by Wagner in elongation and Fulchiron et al in shear).
In particular, this package provides algorithms that track sharp liquid interfaces through arbitrary deformations, applying the correct normal and tangential stress boundary conditions--an accuracy feature that distinguishes it from other CFD programs.
