Summary

Of prime concern in this paper is the flow induced in a channel when a thermal wave moves along a boundary with topographical features. The principal result obtained is that the time-averaged flow in the channel is predominantly cellular in nature, which is qualitatively quite different from its unidirectional form when such structures are absent.
