A rotary fluidic distributor suitable for outputting a pulsed flow may comprise a stator (304) defining a stator longitudinal axis and a volute, and that includes a stator conduit, and a rotor (326) comprising a rotor conduit and disposed in the volute of the stator such that a central axis of the stator conduit and a central axis of the rotor conduit are disposed in a first plane. The rotor may be rotated relative to the stator to bring the rotor conduit and the stator conduit into and out of alignment, repeatedly. The rotor conduit may comprise a plurality of rotor conduits and the stator conduit may comprise a plurality of stator conduits. The rotary fluidic distributor allows pulsed flow to be created without the use of standard valves, e.g., solenoid valves.
