Modulated stagnation-point flow and steady streaming

Plane stagnation-point flow is modulated in the free stream so that the velocity components are proportional to K(H) + K cos omega t. Similarity solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are examined using high-frequency asymptotics for K and K(H) of unit order. Special attention is focused on the steady streaming generated in this flow with strongly non-parallel streamlines.
