An efficient method has been presented for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the vorticity-stream-function form for flow at high Reynolds numbers. It combines the finite differencing scheme which is superior in accuracy than the upwind scheme, and a multigrid approach with an iterative incomplete lower and upper triangular matrix solver.
