Abstract
AbstractA modification of Homann’s axisymmetric outer potential stagnation-point flow of strain rate $a$ is obtained by adding periodic radial and azimuthal velocities of the form $b\hspace{0.167em} r\sin 2\theta $ and $b\hspace{0.167em} r\cos 2\theta $, respectively, where $b$ is a shear rate. This leads to the discovery of a new family of asymmetric viscous stagnation-point flows depending on the shear-to-strain-rate ratio $\gamma = b/ a$ that exist over the range $\ensuremath{-} \infty \lt \gamma \lt \infty $. Numerical solutions for the wall shear stress parameters and the displacement thicknesses are given and compared with their large-$\gamma $ asymptotic behaviours. Sample similarity velocity profiles are also presented.
