Abstract: | A numerical calculation is made of the process in the MK-1 magnetocumulative generator under the assumption that the magnetic flux is constant and the tube contraction process is one-dimensional. The instantaneous detonation scheme is adopted. The effect of initial magnetic field intensity and relative size of the cavity on the magnitude of the maximal magnetic field intensity obtained inside the tube is studied.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, Vol. 11, No. 3, pp. 51–55, May–June, 1970.The authors wish to thank L. A. Chudov for his continued interest in the study and valuable advice, and also Yu. V. Korovin for assistance in the calculations. |
