    The author presents a numerical scheme for incompressible viscous flows, formulated by using an equation for stream function. The corresponding biharmonic equation is discretized with a compact scheme and solved with an algebraic multigrid solver. The advection of vorticity is calculated with a high-resolution central scheme that remains stable and accurate even in the presence of large gradients. The accuracy and robustness of the method are demonstrated for high-Reynolds-number lid-driven cavity flows.
