Abstract:Velocity skin effect (VSE) is a kind of current clustering phenomenon, which occurs in the sliding contact interfaces between the hypervelocity armature and the stationary rails for electromagnetic railgun, disadvantageous to launchers performance. The physical principle of VSE is Skin Effect of pulsed current in rails, and Clustering Near Small Source and Clustering Along Short Path of steady current in armature. The corresponding methods to restrain VSE was deduced and classified in this paper as the followi… Show more
