Abstract
We consider the flow induced on a heated horizontal boundary. The boundary temperature varies spatially in a sinusoidal manner, which is itself sufficient to generate a flow parallel to the boundary. A harmonic modulation in time is superposed upon this such that in addition to the fluctuating flow a time-independent, or steady streaming, flow develops which provides the main focus for this investigation.
