The mixed convection in an axisymmetric point heat source due to a vertical free stream is analyzed using the bounday layer equations. The two solutions where the buoyancy effects are favourable and adverse with respect to the oncoming stream are studied. An analytical argument indicates that the solutions for the favourable case are unique whereas those for the adverse case are dual. The numerical solutions for the favourable case have been obtained for all flow regimes from pure forced convection to pure free convection buoyant plume. For the adverse case the flow in the plume is retarded and the dual numerical solutions correspond to the direct and reverse flows in the plume.
