"Flow through a Venturi pipe at medium up to high Reynolds number"

• length of channel: 72.6, maximum height 7.8, minimum diameter of pipe 1, width of upper small device 0.8
• inflow b.c.'s: constant velocity 1 at the left edge
• outflow b.c.'s: natural "do nothing" b.c.'s at right edge and upper small device
• other b.c.'s: zero velocity at fixed walls
• initial condition at t=0: starting from Stokes solution
• viscosity parameter: 1/nu=1000 (maximum velocity about 7!)

• coarse mesh (=level 1): 12 cells, 26 vertices, 86 d.o.f.`s
