Summary
In this paper we investigated numerically the laminar flow of a homogeneous, viscous incompressible liquid, through a channel with a step. We used one numerical approach for small Reynolds numbers, and a different method for large numbers. Streamlines were calculated with high accuracy using a relatively small amount of computer time.
