It's well known that pulsating combustion has the advantages in fuel saving

pollutant suppression

enhancement of combustion intensity and efficiency and increase of convective heat and mass transfer rates.The capital investment and operational costs of many systems and processes can be reduced if the pulsating combustion be applied.In this paper

the characteristics of the pulsating combustion are treated and a review with instructive comments on its application is given.The application of the fulsating combustion particularly in the areas of jet propulsion

gas turbine

boiler and heater

drying and ash cleaning is discussed.In the end

its prospects are also remarked.
