A method and apparatus for inducing circulation of a fluid in an interior of a system between such interior and a fluid pocket. The fluid pocket is connected to a fluid access opening of the system for fluid communication between the fluid pocket and the interior of the system. The method comprises modulating the temperature of a heat transfer element in thermal communication with fluid in the pocket, between a first temperature and a second temperature. A representative fluid sample may be taken from the fluid pocket for analysis.
