    This is a numerical and theoretical investigation of natural convection in a two-dimensional square enclosure with one side cold and isothermal, and the other side heated with pulsating heat flux. It is shown numerically that the buoyancy induced circulation resonates to a certain (single) frequency of the pulsating heat input. The resonance is characterized by maximum fluctuations in the total heat transfer rate through the vertical midplane of the cavity.
