Abstract
Periodic oscillations are found in a one-dimensional model of thermal convection. The model consists of a fluid-filled tube bent into rectangular shape and standing in a vertical plane. The fluid is heated at the centre of the lower horizontal segment and cooled at the centre of the upper horizontal segment. When a certain parameter exceeds unity, a periodic motion of the fluid is found in which the flow is always in the same direction but in which the speed varies. Inertia is unimportant for this oscillation, which depends upon the interplay between frictional and buoyancy forces.
