Research on the Effect of Current Rise Rate for the Initial Velocity Based on the Augmented Railgun
摘要
Based on an augmented railgun system, the influence of the current rising time on the initial velocity is studied by simulation and experiment. The driving current with the faster rising time does not increase the muzzle velocity of launch system under the same discharge voltage. When the rising time is raised to a certain extent, the discharge current peak and the initial velocity will be decreased. The conclusion is instructive to the optimal design of pulse power source for electromagnetic launch system.
