Simulation of the Magnetically Accelerated Flat Strikers Using a Magnetocumulative Generator

The stimulations of the conductive plate acceleration by magnetic field are presented. The magnetic field is created by the current of the helical magnetocumulative generator (MCG) with a 200-mm-diameter stator (MCG-200). The effect of two types of current pulses was considered using only MCG, and the second one is MCG with an explosive opening switch. Simulation demonstrates acceleration of the striker up to velocity 3-5 km/s. The device design is proposed on the basis of the MCG-200 generator and intended for investigation of the equations of state.
