AB: Recent studies that investigate the coronal heating problem use numerical codes to solve the 1D hydrodynamic equations. Many different numerical solutions are involved for solving the equations, however, only a few comparison have been made between the different numerical results. In this study, we begin a benchmarking process by comparing steady state solutions from the NRL Solar Flux Tube Model(SOLFTM), AAD's code and Serio's Scaling Law by calculating percentage differences in their simulated temperatures and densities.
