High Order B.C. for Finite Difference Method

Hello, could anybody tell me how to implement higher order (more the 2nd order) accurate B.C. at a solid wall boundary. I need to appximate velocity components for three ghost cells out of the flow domain.
For v = tangential velocity; u = normal velocity, I tried this: v[-1] = -v[1]; v[-2] = v[2]; v[-3] = -v[3]; u[-1] = u[1]; u[-2] = u[2]; u[-3] = u[3]; It is based on the same mass-conservation idea originally suggested by Harlow and Welch in MAC paper for one ghost-cell. Another approach seems to be to get a polynomial based on the values inside the flow-domain and then estimate ghost-cell-values using this polinomial. For one ghost-cell, this approach matches with what is suggested in the above MAC apprach if linear approximation. I think this is not a big deal for personals experienced in CFD. Please suggest me. I tried internet but couldn't get it! Thanks a lot in anticipation! -Chandra |

Chandra,
Without spending much time on this, I'd say you should not extrapolate information beyond 1/2 a grid point into a wall or everything will go berserk. At least, in the case of higher-order methods. Stay within the fluid. You can close 4th-order, interior first-deriviatives to third-order and be fine. Higher than that, life gets difficult. You can read about these topics in the following paper and those in the bibliography. Good luck!
