Calculation of inductance variation for onboard magnetic flux compression generator

Abstract

Abstract. Onboard magnetic flux compression generator (MFCG) would be used widely in new types of projectiles that need huge electric energy, while the inductance variation is significant for onboard MFCG design. In order to achieve the inductance variation, image current model was applied to the circuit parameters calculation of an onboard MFCG. And the inductance variation expression was derived. Subsequently, by simulation software MATLAB, a numerical computation program of onboard MFCG inductance variation was written within deriving process. Curve of inductance change was achieved after substituting design parameters and computing, and next optimum design and experiments benefit from it.
