In axial-flow configurations, noted Müller and co-authors in a 2004 paper, pure scavenging is a challenging task. Since heat release increases pressure inside the channel, opening the outer channel end generates an outflow of the exhaust gases. Source: Piechna, 2004. Earlier wave rotor implementation were mainly axial flow.
