The stagnation-point flow in a Darcy porous medium toward a shrinking sheet with the presence of thermal radiation, suction, velocity, and thermal slips is numerically studied. The partial differentiation equations have been transformed into ordinary differentiation equations by a similarity transformation. Numerical results show the existence of dual solutions in a certain range of the governing parameters. A stability analysis to identify which solutions are stable and physically realizable by using the bvp4c solver implemented in Matlab has also been presented.
