Overview

This research demonstrates the influence of augmented rail geometry on mutual inductance and magnetic flux density parameters in rail guns.

Key Points

  • Augmented rail geometry significantly impacts the mutual inductance gradient, enhancing rail gun efficiency.
  • The inward circular convex augmented rail design outperformed other geometries in mutual inductance gradient (M’).
  • Finite element method simulations provided critical insights into current density and magnetic flux distribution.
  • These results may enable the optimization of rail gun designs for improved armature velocity.
