A new finite-difference method involving a streamline coordinate is developed for analyzing two-dimensional steady non-Newtonian flows with history dependence. The boundary of the material is partially free and partially confined. The proposed method is neither the method of stream function nor the use of convected reference frame. It simply regards streamline as an independent coordinate, thereby retaining the merits of both the Eulerian and Lagrangian schemes. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated in examples of several models' matter steadily discharging from a slit into a free space.
