In terms of cylindrical coordinates, the Navier-Stokes equations and the equation of continuity are derived for axisymmetric, incompressible flows wherein the pressure is the only important external force. A successive overrlaxation iterative procedure is described whereby the system of partial differential equations involving the classical stream function and vorticity are solved at steady-state.
