This study examines the impingement of axisymmetric Homann stagnation-point flow on a surface undergoing perpendicular, planar, biaxial stretching, revealing four branches of steady solutions and a spiralling behavior in the surface shear stress parameter plane. The analysis also finds only one stable solution for each set of parameters, indicating limited stability of the solutions.
The normal impingement of axisymmetric Homann stagnation-point flow on a surface executing perpendicular, planar, biaxial stretching is studied. The flow field generated is an exact solution of the steady, three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the form of a similarity solution. It is shown that two sets of dual solutions exist, forming four different branches of steady solutions. For sufficiently small stretches (including compressions of the surface) the four branches exhibit a multi-branch spiralling behaviour in the surface shear stress parameter plane. The linear stability of the solutions are also examined, identifying only one stable solution for each set of parameters. (C) 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
