Abstract
A viscous fluid is sandwiched between two parallel plates. The top plate performs both normal and lateral small translatory oscillations. The unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved using perturbations. The nonlinear Reynolds stress causes a secondary steady streaming. It is found that the normal oscillations induce a steady lift while the interaction between normal and lateral oscillations causes a directional net flux. The system thus operates as a valveless pump with rigid walls.
