Finite difference (central) method is applied and solution is obtained for the stream function for Laplace's equation.

I have tried to impart a good level of flexibility w.r.t the grid lenghts, position obstruction and its dimensions, dimensions of the channel, etc. I have been successfully achieveing all these but my idea of including non-circular obstructions is still pending and hope to update the upload as soon I shall be done wih it.

The code is pretty transparent in its construction and I feel it should not be difficult to alter it to your needs. Use it to your needs, but do pay proper acknowledgment please :). - Sunil Anandatheertha
