Title: Computer model of an electromagnetic accelerator

Abstract

The authors examine a computer model of an electromagnetic accelerator (rail gun) with a projected body accelerated by a plasma. They determine the effective length of the accelerator, the electrical efficiency of the equipment, and the plasma parameters. Numerical results are obtained for different parameters of the model electrical circuit. An example of a multisection rail gun is presented.
