| System: | 486DX4-100, Linux 1.2.13 |
| Computation time: | About 6 or 7 hours |
| Scale: | Edge length = 1, box = 1 x 1 x 15, time step = 0.01 |
| Vertices: | Initially 498, finally 112 |
| Facets: | Initially 992, finally 220 |
| Facet threshold: | Eliminated facet if area is less than 1/5 of average of all facets |
| Comment: | The facets all vanished at the ends of the tube. |

The flow has for all practical purposes reached
its stationary limit: a sphere. It does not look perfectly round because
the facets are of very different interior angles and sizes.
