A dimension splitting and characteristic projection method is proposed for three-dimensional incompressible flow. First, the characteristics method is adopted to obtain temporal semi-discretization scheme. For the remaining Stokes equations we present a projection method to deal with the incompressibility constraint. In conclusion only independent linear elliptic equations need to be calculated at each step. Furthermore on account of splitting property of dimension splitting method, all the computations are carried out on two-dimensional manifolds, which greatly reduces the difficulty and the computational cost in the mesh generation. And a coarse-grained parallel algorithm can be also constructed, in which the two-dimensional manifold is considered as the computation unit.
