Navier-Stokes solutions using Stetter's method

Compressible Navier-Stokes equations for quasi-one-dimensional flow in a converging-diverging nozzle have been solved using Stetter's three-step predictor-corrector technique. Particular emphasis is given to the minimum iterative step feature for steady-state solutions. It is found that for the nonviscous-dominated case, Stetter's method attains the steady-state solution in the fewest steps when compared to four other currently used techniques.
