METHODS OF NUMERICAL MODELING OF A RAILGUN WITH MAGNETIZATION TURNS

Methods of numerical modeling of an electromagnetic fi eld in electrodynamic launchers of the railgun type in the presence of magnetization turns have been proposed. Results of employment of different methods to model the electromagnetic fi eld in a modular augmented staged electromagnetic launcher (MASEL) have been presented; a comparison of the results of simulation and full-scale experiments has been made. The issue of the dependence of the electromagnetic fi eld on the confi guration of magnetization turns has been investigated.
