Abstract: Initiatives in electromagnetic propulsion all over the world are aimed at the development of electromagnetic launchers. This paper presents the constraint based design of Multipole Field Electromagnetic Launcher (MFEL). A design algorithm is developed based on Gauss iterative method. Muzzle velocity is considered as the objective function and the length, diameter and thickness of the accelerating coil are considered as constraints. The results for hexapole, octapole, decapole, dodecapole and hexadecapole cases are compared and tabulated.
Keywords: Electromagnetics, Flux Distribution, Lorentz Force, Electromagnetic Launcher.
Scope of the Article: Artificial Intelligent Methods, Models, Techniques
