Radial coordinate of stagnation point for flow over a cylinder Calculator

Stagnation points refer to specific locations in the flow field where the velocity of the fluid becomes zero, resulting in stagnation or zero velocity. For the flow over a cylinder, there are two primary types of stagnation points: the forward stagnation point and the rear stagnation point. 

  • R is the radial coordinate of the stagnation points (distance from the center of the cylinder to the stagnation points) (in m).
  • μ strength of doublet (in m^2/s).
  • V∞ is the freestream velocity of the fluid (in m/s).
