Abstract

Rashevsky's treatment of the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in an elastic distensible tube is applied to the same problem, except that the wall of the tube is assumed to be elastomeric. As a result the velocity of propagation is obtained in terms of the elastomeric constants of the wall, the thickness and density of the wall, the viscosity of the fluid, and the radius of the tube.
