Abstract
A unified formulation for stagnation-point flows and linearly stretching plates is given wherein the two can occur separately or in unison. Reductions to known cases are given. It is noticed that previous work on stretching plates beneath planar and axisymmetric stagnation point flows have respectively aligned planar stretching and axisymmetric stretching. The general formulation reveals other combinations of stretching beneath stagnation-point flows exist and three new cases are studied in detail. The linear stability of dual and multiple solutions are calculated.
