The singularity at the stagnation point in steady-state colliding winds has a big influence on the structure of the radiative interaction region. None of the existing numerical models treats properly this mathematical problem. As a result, all the available models cannot be used for deriving the stellar winds parameters by making a comparison with the observed X-ray properties.
