This invention discloses a
simulation method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for an electromagnetic
railgun. Compared to
constant load parameter values, it employs a
finite element method combined with
equivalent circuit analysis. The rail is divided into N segments, and the armature is positioned at the end of the i-th segment. The current equivalent load parameters of the rail are updated based on the circuit parameters at each discrete time point, thereby approximating the true value of the equivalent load parameters segment by segment. The current equivalent load parameters are then substituted into the circuit and mechanical equations to calculate the discrete data when the armature is positioned at the end of the i-th segment. If i < N, let i = i + 1, and iterate the above
simulation steps; if i = N, then fit all the calculated discrete data between the armature velocity and discrete time points to obtain
continuous data between the armature velocity and time. It is evident that this invention corrects the equivalent load parameters whenever the armature moves a certain distance, thus simulating an electromagnetic
railgun firing process that more closely approximates the real situation.
