* This is a simulation case for a viscoelastic fluid described by the Finitely
  Extensible Nonlinear Elastic-Peterlin constitutive model (FENE-P).
  The geometry was the 4:1 plane contraction. This is a well studied
  geometry in viscoelastic fluid flow research.

  More details about the model or parameters used, as also informations
  about the geometry, can be found at:
