This　paper　considers　three　iterative　methods　for　solving　the　stationary　Navier-Stokes　equations.　Iterative　method　I　consists　in　solving　the　stationary　Stokes　equations,　iterative　method　II　consists　in　solving　the　stationary　linearized　Navier-Stokes　equations　and　iterative　method　III　consists　in　solving　the　stationary　Oseen　equations　under　the　finite　element　discretization,　respectively,　at　each　iterative　step.　Also,　we　discuss　the　stability　and　convergence　of　three　iterative　methods.　The　iterative　methods　I　and　II　are　stability　and　convergence　under　the　strong　uniqueness　conditions,　where　the　iterative　method　II　is　the　second　order　convergence.　Furthermore,　the　iterative　method　III　is　uncondition　stability　and　convergence　under　the　uniqueness　condition.　Finally,　some　numerical　tests　show　that　the　efficiency　of　the　theoretical　analysis.　(C)　2008　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
