Abstract This article addresses thermally stratified stagnation point flow of viscous fluid induced by a non-linear variable thicked Riga plate. Velocity and thermal slip effects are incorporated to disclose the flow analysis. Solar thermal radiation phenomenon is implemented to address the characteristics of heat transfer. Variations of different physical parameters on the horizontal velocity and temperature distributions are described through graphs. Graphical interpretations of skin friction coefficient (drag force at the surface) and Nusselt number (rate of heat transfer) are also addressed. Modified Hartman number and thermal stratification parameter result in reduction of temperature distribution.
