The work described has arisen as part of an on-going joint research programme between AWE and Loughborough University into the dynamics of electromagnetically accelerated flyer plates. A determination of the current distribution (or at least confirmation of the uniformity of the distribution) in a flat transmission line is needed in order to confirm the uniform acceleration of the flyer plate. To...
A common initiative for the research into the physics and technology of a flyer plate electromagnetic accelerator has been started at AWE, Aldermaston and Loughborough University. Two electromagnetic accelerators have been constructed and tested: AMPERE, a 120 kJ / 40 kV capacitor bank system at AWE and QUATTRO a 100 kJ/30 kV capacitor bank system at Loughborough Pulsed Power Laboratory. Two numerical...
A joint program involving the study and practical performance of a foil-flyer electromagnetic accelerator has recently been initiated by Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston, and Loughborough University. As an initial phase of the work, both 0-D and 2-D numerical models for the foil-flyer accelerator have been developed. The 0-D model, although very crude, is capable of providing an insight into...
