Theoretical techniques are developed to study compressible, steady-state, magnetically aligned gas flows in sunspot regions. The flows are adiabatic and occur in a known streamline configuration. The non-linear parabolic partial differential equation describing the flow reduces to an ordinary linear differential equation. The solutions are briefly discussed.
