We introduce a mimetic Cartesian cut-cell method for incompressible viscous flow that conserves mass, momentum, and kinetic energy in the inviscid limit, and determines the vorticity such that the global vorticity is consistent with the boundary conditions. In particular we discuss how the no-slip boundary conditions should be applied in a conservative way on objects immersed in the Cartesian mesh. We use the method to compute the flow around a cylinder. We find a good comparison between our results and benchmark results for both a steady and an unsteady test case.
