		Abstract

The stationary Navier-Stokes equations are solved in 2D with
semi-implicit Runge-Kutta schemes, where explicit
time-integration in the streamwise direction is combined with implicit
integration in the body-normal direction. For model problems
stability restrictions, convergence properties and error components
are analyzed. Numerical experiments for the flow over a semi-infinite
flat plate show that the number of iterations for the semi-implicit
schemes is independent of the Reynolds number.
