The mathematical model for the incompressible two-dimensional stagnation flow of a Maxwell fluid towards a shrinking sheet is proposed. The developed equations are used to discuss the problem of being two dimensional in the region of stagnation point over a shrinking sheet. The nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by firsttaking boundary-la...

The viscous flow induced by a shrinking sheet is studied. Existence and (non)uniqueness are proved. Exact solutions, both numerical and in closed form, are found.
