Perturbation analysis of rail guns powered by explosive magnetic flux compression

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6778564
Perturbation methods are used to predict the performance of rail guns powered by explosive magnetic flux compression, and the results are compared with experimental data. The problem of designing explosive magnetic flux compression generators for optimum rail gun performance is also discussed.
