Keywords: Cartesian grids, incompressible flows, grid generation, mesh block refinement

A method for the prediction of incompressible flows inside domains of arbitrary shaped bounds by the use of Cartesian grids with block nested refinement is presented. The block refinement algorithm can be used in any complex geometry simulation, to accomplish a reduction in memory requirements and the computational time effort.
