Analysis of capacitively driven electromagnetic coil guns

In this paper, the performance analysis of two stages linear induction launcher (LIL) is presented. It is carried out based on current filament model (CFM) taking their transient behavior into account. A computer simulation based on the developed model, is down for predicting the electromechanical characteristics of the launcher (Current, velocity force, etc.). The section to section transitions which have significant effects on the launcher performance are also studied. Some simulation results are presented and discussed.
