contents We study experimentally the onset of Faraday waves near the endwalls of rectangular vessel containing two stably-stratified fluid layers, subject to horizontal oscillations. These subharmonic waves (SWs) are excited, because the horizontal inertial forcing drives a harmonic propagating wave which displaces the interface in the vertical direction at the endwalls. We find that the onset of SWs is regulated by a balance between capillary and viscous forces, where the rate of damping is set by the Stokes layer thickness at the wall rather than the wavelength of the SWs. We model the onset of SWs with a weakly-damped Mathieu equation and find that the dimensional critical acceleration scales as $ν_m^{1/2} ω^{3/2}$, where $ν_m$ is the mean viscosity and $ω$ is the frequency of forcing, in excellent agreement with the experiment over a wide range of parameters.
