The discrete Poisson equation used to enforce incompressibility in the projection method of \textit{A. J. Chorin} [Math. Comput. 22, 745-762 (1968; Zbl 0198.501)] has a null space. The null space often manifests itself in producing solutions with checkerboard pressure fields. We present and analyze a null-space-free approximate projection method, which is based on Cartesian vector components and non-staggered grids. The approximate projection method has been implemented in the computer code HEMO. Several examples of two- and three-dimensional flows using HEMO are presented.
