For certain outlet conditions, using the natural boundary condition $\mathbf{t}_{t}^{\tau}=\mathbf{0}$ may lead to flow instabilities. It is possible to minimize these effects by prescribing a tangential viscous traction onto the boundary surface, which opposes this tangential flow. Optionally, this condition may be combined with the backflow stabilization described above.
