发展中的电磁轨道炮

介绍了电磁轨道炮的发展历程和工作原理，对过去20余年影响其武器化过程的关键技术如脉冲功率电源、发射轨道和发射单元作了重点论述。比较了现有各种供电方式的优劣，概括了轨道和发射单元设计时应注意的问题。由于理论研究在相当长的一段时间是电磁轨道发射领域的研究重点，本文从力场模拟、热场模拟和电磁场模拟3个方面作了展开讨论，归纳了理论研究的发展趋势。

Review on the electromagnetic railgun

In this paper, the development and physical basis of the electromagnetic railgun in the last 20 years is reviewed firstly. Then the critical experimental skills such as pulsed power and rails/launch packages is illustrated. The advantage and disadvantage of different available power supply are discussed, also the principles to design reasonable rails and launch package are summarized. As for a long time, the efforts in electromagnetic launcher focus on computational techniques, the current status and perspective of mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic modeling and simulations is provided.
