Abstract Using the thermodynamic equilibrium constant method and JWL-Miller equation of state, based on calculation parameters such as composition, pressure, explosion temperature detonation products aluminized explosives in Magnetocumulative generator, Saha ionization equation, gas conductivity model are used to write Matlab code calculate electron density magnetic flux compression generator. ...

Flux compression generators (FCGs) are high-energy power supplies that are capable of delivering joules to megajoules to loads. There are different types of generators, where each type has its advantages and disadvantages. One possible significant disadvantage of all FCGs is high G-force survivability. To address this issue, a new FCG design is being developed. This new generator, called a Shoc...

This paper deals with the design and performance analysis of double stator axial flux permanent magnet generators for rim-driven marine current turbines (MCT). Indeed for submarine applications, drive train reliability is a key feature to reduce maintenance requirements. Rim-driven direct-drive multi-stator generators can therefore be a very interesting solution to improve this reliability. In ...

We have previously reported on the development of explosively formed fuse (EFF) opening switches for use in applications where very long conduction times (lO's or lOG's p.s) are required and where opening times of 1-10 p.s are adequate. In this paper we report on the development of an EFF that allows magnetic flux in the switch to be delivered to the load rather than lost from the circuit. The ...

In this article, turbulent flow heat transfer in the air gap between rotor and stator of a generator under nonhomogeneous heat flux is studied experimentally. The rotor consists of four symmetrical triangular grooves. The stator surface is smooth and does not include any grooves. The relative heat flux between the rotor and the stator is 1 to 3. Temperature and heat flux are measured locally at...

We describe a simple practical numerical method for simulating plasma driven within vacuum chamber by pulsed power generator. Typically, in this type of simulation, the region adjacent to is approximated as highly resistive, light fluid; involves computationally expensive solvers describing diffusion magnetic field through fluid. Instead, we provide recipe coupling generators MHD domain approxi...
