Abstract
It is shown by analytic means that it is possible to produce mean horizontal flows in a channel from a periodic distribution of stationary heat sources which are placed upon a varying topographic structure. Past analyses and experiments of channel flows are reviewed. The conditions necessary for production of mean horizontal flows are derived using a number of boundary conditions. The heat balance and momentum balance of this fluid system are discussed.
