Mixing and moving of small amounts of fluid poses a severe problem caused by the inherently small Reynolds numbers in micro- and nanoflows. Surface acoustic waves that can be excited by the application of a radio frequency wave to an interdigital transducer on a piezoelectric substrate generate a localized force field acting on a fluid placed above the transducer. We present the analytical as well as numerical solution of the 3-dimensional flow generated by a line force. The calculated velocity field is compared with experimental results for a 0.2mm thick fluid layer driven by surface acoustic waves.
