Abstract
The main specific features of propagation of an electromagnetic pulse in a solid-propellant energetic system are studied by means of the numerical solution of three-dimensional Maxwell equations. A case with the electric field vector in the pulse being directed parallel to the structure centerline is considered. The effect of the solid propellant properties on specific features of the formation of electric fields inside the solid-propellant energetic system and in the ambient space is demonstrated.
