A Hybrid Simulation Model for Electromagnetic Launchers Including the Transient Inductance and Electromotive Force

Abstract: Although electromagnetic launchers (EMLs) are superior to classical gun-powder-based launchers, they have to withstand extreme electrical and mechanical conditions. Therefore, the optimal design and precise simulations of these devices are crucial. In this article, a new simulation strategy for EMLs is proposed in order to achieve high accuracy and reduced complexity. The inductance and electromotive force (EMF) variations in the transient, which have a considerable influence on the launch process, are modeled… Show more

“…Hundertmark et al [11] used time and position-dependent conductivity function in the airarmature region to simulate the transients due to the armature movement. In the previous study [12], we obtained a lumped VSE resistance through a similar conductivity function to enhance the simulation model's accuracy and verified with experiments.…”

“…Then, the VSE resistance is calculated in 3-D with quasi-transient FEM. The fitted VSE resistances are added to the 3-D static FEM simulations like in [12], [13] individually as a figure of merit. The constructed model is compared with experimental results to evaluate the performances of VSE models.…”
