Abstract: It is shown that a three-dimensional stretching flow of an Oldroyd-type fluid has an exact solution. As the fluid becomes Maxwellian, the solution permits a vortex sheet to propagate from the boundary into the flow domain. Furthermore, it is shown that there exists a critical Weissenberg number above which a stress component increases exponentially with time.
