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.
