The forward (or explicit) Euler method is adopted for the time discretization, while spatial derivatives are discretized using 2nd-order, centered schemes.

The Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid are solved on a 2D rectangular domain meshed with a staggered grid. The momentum equations are solved using the forward Euler method and 2nd order, centered spatial discretizations. The projection algorithm is adopted for managing the coupling between pressure and velocity. In particular, the corresponding Poisson equation for pressure is solved using the Successive Over-Relaxation method and 2nd order, centered discretization for the spatial derivatives.

The Taylor-Green vortex is an exact closed form solution of 2D, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. This 2D decaying vortex defined in the square domain, 0-2pi, serves as a benchmark problem for testing and validation of incompressible Navier-Stokes codes. The implementation here proposed is based on the Finite Volume Method (FV) applied on a staggered mesh and coupled with the Porjection Algorithm.
