Abstract
There exist coupled mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic diffusive processes with high-speed moving conductors in electromagnetic railgun (EMRG). Simulation can validate related theories and reduce physical experiments. Besides, post-simulation analysis reveals the influence of various uncertain factors on the system performance and supports the improvement of the system performance. The Electromagnetic launch technology advanced rapidly and it put forward higher requirements for the simulation tools. Thus, an integrated electromagnetic railgun simulation platform, which has multi-functions including simulation, model validation, post-simulation analysis and optimization, is needed urgently. Furthermore, the simulation platform should be capable of strengthening the management of simulation resources. An integrated EMRG simulation platform is designed and implemented consisted of HLA-based EMRG model, model validation tool, experimental design & data analysis tool and optimization tool. The application result shows that the platform can support the simulation, validation, analysis and optimization of EMRG simulation system.
