Method for numerical solution of Navier-Stokes equations of viscous, incompressible flow developed based on use of fractional-step procedure. Accurate to second order in both space and time. Attempt made to minimize Poisson-equation difficulties by choosing pressures at centers and volume fluxes across faces of computational cells as dependent variables instead of familiar Cartesian components of velocity. Choice ensures satisfaction of discrete equation of conservation of mass to within round-off errors in any coordinate system and has favorable effects on convergence properties.
