Unsteady Reversed Stagnation-Point Flow over a Flat Plate

Abstract EN

This paper investigates the nature of the development of two-dimensional laminar flow of an incompressible fluid at the reversed stagnation-point.

Proudman and Johnson (1962) first studied the flow and obtained an asymptotic solution by neglecting the viscous terms.

Robins and Howarth (1972) stated that this is not true in neglecting the viscous terms within the total flow field.

Viscous terms in this analysis are now included, and a similarity solution of two-dimensional reversed stagnation-point flow is investigated by solving the full Navier-Stokes equations.
