Abstract
The motion induced in a layer of Boussinesq fluid by a moving thermal wave is studied in the case where the mean velocity could exceed the wave speed. A nonlinear boundary-layer theory shows that strong streaming is possible for small viscosity. Velocity fluctuations are limited in magnitude by their short time scale, while viscosity alone, assumed to be relatively weak, limits the mean flow.
