Similarity stagnation point solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations - review and extension. (English) Zbl 1151.76425

Summary: Stagnation regions exist on all blunt bodies moving in a viscous fluid. In certain stagnation flow problems, the Navier-Stokes equations reduce to nonlinear ordinary differential equations through a similarity transform. This paper reviews the existing steady similarity stagnation flow solutions and discusses a new area of research, stagnation flow with slip.
