Formula

Empirical G.f.: (x+1) * (x^8 + 2042*x^7 + 137876*x^6 + 1447150*x^5 + 3462710*x^4 + 1447150*x^3 + 137876*x^2 + 2042*x + 1) / (x-1)^10. [Colin Barker, Jul 31 2012]

Example

Sample flows (. represents a space):
Numbers in long rows are on cell walls showing velocity rightward.
Numbers in long columns are on cell floors showing velocity downwards.
4 X 4 cell centers are at the intersection of long rows and long columns.
