Abstract

The theory of boundary-layer growth at a rear stagnation point, first presented by Proudman & Johnson, is here extended to cover fully three-dimensional rear stagnation points. Supporting numerical solutions of the full initial-value problem establish the relevance of the in viscid similarity solutions obtained.
