Abstract
A wave rotor assembly includes a wave rotor combustor and an exit duct. The wave rotor combustor includes an aft plate formed to include an exit port and a rotor drum mounted for rotation relative to the aft plate. The rotor drum is formed to include a plurality of rotor passages arranged to align with the exit port during rotation of the rotor drum. The exit duct is coupled to the aft plate and defines a passage arranged to receive exhaust gasses flowing through the exit port.
