Nonexistence of solutions for reverse radial stagnation flow with transpiration (Q812649)

The goal of this note is to prove that no solution exists for the reverse radial stagnation flow problem, with or without transpiration. All previous studies which were based on the change of variables are not applicable to the present problem. The nonexistence result obtained in this paper is due to the direct analysis of the ordinary differential equation governing 3D reverse radial stagnation flow but also applies to the 2D reverse stagnation point problem, giving an alternative proof of that result.
