Abstract With the rapid advancement of electromagnetic launch technology, enhancing the structural stability and thermal resistance of armatures has become essential for improving the overall efficiency and reliability of railgun systems. Traditional aluminum alloy armatures often suffer from severe ablation, deformation, and uneven current distribution under high pulsed currents, which limit their performance and service life. To address these challenges, this study employs the Johnson–Cook constitutive model and the finite element method to develop armature models of aluminum matrix composites with varying heterogeneous graphene volume fractions. The temperature, stress, and strain of the armatures during operation… More >

Abstract Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) induction pumps are contactless pumps able to withstand harsh environments. The rate of fluid flow through the pump directly affects the efficiency and stability of the device. To explore the influence of induction pump settings on the related delivery speed, in this study, a numerical model for coupled electromagnetic and flow field effects is introduced and used to simulate liquid metal lithium flow in the induction pump. The effects of current intensity, frequency, coil turns and coil winding size on the velocity of the working fluid are analyzed. It is shown that the More >

Abstract The electromagnetic losses of submarine cables are mainly caused by the metal shielding layer to prevent the water tree effect and the armor layer that strengthens the strength of the submarine cables. While these losses cause the temperature of submarine cable to rise, and temperature variation will in turn change the conductivity of its metal layer material. In this paper, the electric-magnetic-thermal multi-physical field coupling of the electromagnetic loss variation of the submarine cable is realized by establishing a full coupling system containing Fourier’s law and Maxwell-Ampère’s Law for the photoelectric composite submarine cable.
