Abstract

In this paper we consider the changes in the two-dimensional stagnation point flow against a plane wall when the wall is impulsively set in motion in its own plane. In particular a solution which describes the final approach to the ultimate steady state is determined. This solution supplements existing theories, and together they give a full description of the flow for all times.
