Peculiarities of the magnetic field distribution in the railgun channel

Abstract

The measurement of the magnetic field induction in the railgun channel was carried out. The influence of the conductivity of the rail material on the efficiency of magnetic field generation using external coils was evaluated. The distribution of the pulsed magnetic field corresponding to the experimental conditions is calculated. The evaluation of the applicability of the used model for the simulation of railgun for various types of boundary conditions in the passive circuit was carried out.
