Abstract

The simultaneous effects of normal transpiration through a radially stretching porous plate beneath Homann stagnation-point flow are considered. The exact similarity reduction of the Navier–Stokes equations depends on the stretching parameter λ and the transpiration parameter μ. Dual solutions are found over a limited range λc0) but unique solutions exist for blowing (μ
