Given the eccentricity e of the journal bearing, find the pressure
distribution in the lubricant separating the shaft from the bearing.

This model is from the COPS benchmarking suite.
See http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~more/cops/.

The number of internal grid points can be specified using the command
line parameters --nx and --ny.

COPS performance tests have been reported for
nx-1 = 50, ny-1 = 25, 50, 75, 100
