This paper presents a simulation of aerovalve pulse combustion. Starting from the conservative laws, a simplified set of governing equations that identifies crucial parameters is obtained. The combustor is assumed to be well-stirred, and modified slug flow models are applied to the flows in the inlet and exit pipes. The simulation has been used to study the influence of geometry and operational parameters on the operation of the pulse combustor.
