Coupled Power-Plasma Model and Application to Electrothermal-Chemical Guns.

摘要

A coupled power-plasma cartridge model of the electrothermal-chemical gun has been developed to investigate the dependence of plasma properties on the pulse-forming network (PFN) and on geometric variations. The model is validated against experimental data and parametrically varied to suggest the functional dependence of the plasma properties on the PFN and plasma components.
