Default Rear stagnation point

If you track air across the surfaces, there will be a place where
the upper and lower streams meet, the flow vector is no longer along
the sing, but directly away from it.

That isn't a stagnation point. A stagnation point is where the
velocity is zero and static pressure = total pressure.
