Balance of tension and elastic forces approximates observed contraction and flow dynamics. Comparison of simulated (A) and calculated tube radius (B) according to Eq. 9 and the respective flow velocities (C and D). The calculated flow velocity follows from solving Eq. 5 given the approximated contractions. Note a fivefold decrease in scale for the flow velocities.
