Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Methods of numerical modeling of an electromagnetic field in electrodynamic launchers of the railgun type in the presence of magnetization turns have been proposed. Results of employment of different methods to model the electromagnetic field in a modular augmented staged electromagnetic launcher (MASEL) have been presented; a comparison of the results of simulation and full-scale experiments has been made. The issue of the dependence of the electromagnetic field on the configuration of magnetization turns has been investigated.
