Three-Dimensional Rail-Current Distribution Near the Armature of Simple, Square-Bore, Two-Rail Railguns

Beno

Abstract

Vector potential is solved as a three dimensional, boundary value problem for a conductor geometry consisting of square-bore railgun rails and a stationary armature. Conductors are infinitely conducting and perfect contact is assumed between rails and the armature. From the vector potential solution, surface current distribution is inferred.
