Description We present a simple method for the solution of one-component and multicomponent hydrodynamic equations based on the Newton-Raphson method. We show that this method can be used for the solution of stationary hydrodynamic equations. This method has been used for the calculation of the low density stellar wind models for which the multicomponent nature of the wind influences the overall wind structure.
