The propagation of a liquid bolus along a liquid-lined flexible tube
We use lubrication theory and matched asymptotic expansions to model the quasi-steady propagation of a liquid plug or bolus through an elastic tube. In the limit of small capillary number, asymptotic expressions are found for the pressure drop across the bolus and the thickness of the liquid film le...
