Can We Design a Tube to Resist Fluid Flow?

Hello everyone, I want to ask something. Can we design a tube that can completely resist the flow of a fluid? Maybe using either viscosity or surface tension approach? Thanks

Closest device i can imagine is the ferrofluidic seal.

How about the Tesla valve? It has no moving parts. Whether or not it is a tube is up to your definition of tube.

How much inlet pressure does it need to resist?

PS The Tesla valve has a very high backflow to forward flow resistance but does not fully stop backflow.
