Abstract
A method is presented for the finite difference solution of the equations of fluid motion. The complete Navier-Stokes equations are expressed in terms of tangential velocity, vorticity and stream function. The transformed equations are solved using an alternating direction implicit scheme. The classical problem of hydrodynamic stability of the rotational Couette flow is solved in two dimensions. Comparison with other numerical and experimental works shows that the method reported here is computationally stable, even when used with coarse grids and relatively large time increments.
