good for you. You should let everyone know what keyed you in on that error, so if anyone else is having trouble this might be their answer.

Now, convert it to the stream-function/vorticity method...

its a great book. I have a very early addition that I got from a professor when he retired..1972 edition. There is a really good section on the streamfunction-vorticity method and its related BCs. ...

no, but he mentions that the error will be on the order of deltaY^3. I think you mentioned that if you have a larger grid that the error is not as much - that would point to the truncation error per...

Also, using the CL at .5 instead of 0 has shown to cause a residual truncation error. This error is in the v-flux and v-momentum across the symmetry line. According to Roache in Computational Fluid...

nowhere in your code do you say that the symmetry line has a defined velocity? I think that might be your problem. I am not too sure because I have always had my symmetry line at 0, so I could...

So, your symmetry line is a half-step? For example, if i = 1 then, ghost cell is at i=0 and symmetry is i=.5? Have you tried putting the symmetry line at i=0, then BCs would be Ui+1 = Ui-1, and Ui...

i is the y-direction? So, your BC says that the u-velocity one step below the symmetry line equals the velocity at the symmetry line? That is not correct. Have you tried setting the symmetry-line...
