Electromagnetic energy propulsion can break through the energy and speed limits of traditional driving methods, and has significant advantages such as high launch kinetic energy, high system efficiency, high launch frequency, fast startup time, strong continuous launch ability, and strong load adjustability. The breech voltage is one of the important parameters of a linear electromagnetic energy propulsion device. Its magnitude directly affects the armature motion characteristics, and has a direct impact on the analytical calculation of the current density, inductance gradient, spatial magnetic field distribution, and launch efficiency of the linear electromagnetic energy propulsion device. Therefore, the simulation calculation of the breech voltage is of great significance.

[0058]
[0059] In the formula, L d is the stray inductance of the diode branch, R d is the stray resistance of the diode branch, R D is the on-state resistance of the diode.
[0060] Step 2: Construct a mathematical model of the interaction between the armature and the rail, including the calculation of the equivalent inductance gradient, armature-rail friction force, armature-rail contact resistance, rail resistance gradient, armature acceleration, armature velocity, armature displacement, air resistance, driving electromagnetic force, rail resistance, induced electromotive force, back electromotive force, rail voltage, and breech voltage.
[0061] The rail inductance includes the self-inductance of the inner rail and the mutual inductance between the inner and outer rails. Then the calculation formula for the equivalent inductance gradient is:
[0062] L’ = L 1 ’ + 2M 12 ’ (3)
[0063] In the formula, L’ is the equivalent inductance gradient, L 1 ’ is the inner rail inductance gradient, M 12 ’ is the mutual inductance gradient between the inner and outer rails;
[0064] When the current flows from the track into the armature, an angle is generated. The driving electromagnetic force on the armature is the horizontal component force, and the calculation formula is:
[0065]

[0087] In the formula, R Q (t) is the armature-rail contact resistance, ρ 1 is the resistivity of the armature, ρ 2 is the resistivity of the rail, H is the strength of the armature material, and ε, ω are material constants;
[0088] During the armature emission process, due to current diffusion, proximity effect, and velocity skin effect, the current is approximately distributed in a loop shape in the rectangular guide rail cross-section, and the current is more concentrated on the inner surface of the guide rail; in the initial stage of armature movement, the current change rate is large, and the current distribution is mainly affected by the current skin effect, and the skin depth continuously increases; when the armature velocity v(t) is greater than the critical velocity v c (t), the current distribution is mainly affected by the velocity skin effect, and the skin depth continuously decreases; therefore, the calculation formula for the rail skin depth is:
[0089]
[0090] In the formula, δ(t) is the rail skin depth, μ 0 is the magnetic permeability of the rail material, σ r (t) is the dynamic conductivity of the rail, f is the rail current frequency, k is the proportionality factor, and λ is the effective length of the current generated by the contact between the armature and the rail;
