Thermojet combustion chamber rear end geometry?

Thus far I've always run a flat rear wall on my combustion chamber, previously with a spark plug in the center. Is there any gains to be made by doming the back wall some?

Videos of my valveless pulsejet progression

I've uploaded a longer video of a few of the first runs of my thermojet pulse-jet. I figure as I upload more videos I'll add them here so I'm not spamming up the forum.

A short video of my thermojet running!

Then I may try out a thrust augmenter, before I fabricate up an rc boat to begin with. https://youtu.be/NDk-uqg...
