Abstract: 
The plane stagnation point flow, where a fluid stream impinges perpendicularly on a flat surface, is a classic problem in fluid dynamics with significant theoretical and practical implications. This report presents a comprehensive numerical solution to the plane stagnation point flow using the fourth order Runge-Kutta approximation. The numerical approach is developed to solve the governing Hiemenz Flow equation.
Key flow characteristics, including velocity, are analyzed, offering insights into the fluid behavior near the stagnation point.
