Abstract
To obtain results for the title problem, the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations have been solved numerically. Axial-velocity profiles at various distances from the entrance of the channel are shown for a number of points in time during one period of oscillation. Further some results for the time-dependent inlet length are presented.
