Abstract: We prove that uniform accuracy of almost second order can be achieved with a finite difference method applied to Navier-Stokes flow at low Reynolds number with a moving boundary, or interface, creating jumps in the velocity gradient and pressure. Difference operators are corrected to $O(h)$ near the interface using the immersed interface method, adding terms related to the jumps, on a regular grid with spacing $h$ and periodic boundary conditions. The force at the interface is assumed known within an error tolerance; errors in the interface location are not taken into account. The error in velocity is shown to be uniformly $O(h^2|logh{|}^2)$, even at grid points near the interface, and, up to a constant, the pressure has error $O(h^2|logh{|}^3)$. The proof uses estimates for finite difference versions of Poisson and diffusion equations which exhibit a gain in regularity in maximum norm.
