Abstract: In this paper we study the rotational form of the pressure-correction method that was proposed by Timmermans, Minev, and Van De Vosse. We show that the rotational form of the algorithm provides better accuracy in terms of the $H^1$-norm of the velocity and of the $L^2$-norm of the pressure than the standard form.
