The recent development of very high current pulsed power supplies provides an opportunity for order of magnitude improvements in electromagnetic launcher performance. Consideration of design objectives and constraints suggests that a ceramic-steel construction offers significant advantages over conventional composite-steel railguns. Structural analysis of such a system focuses upon material specific stress concentrations produced by dynamic and asymmetric electromagnetic loads.

Abstract This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental study of the use of a pulsed discharge in water to obtain a strong acoustic wave in a liquid medium. A discharge with a current amplitude of 10 kA, a duration of 400 ns, and an amplitude pulsed power of 280 MW in water at atmospheric pressure created an expanding acoustic wave with an amplitude of more than 100 MPa. To describe the formation of the discharge channel, an isothermal plasma model has been developed, which made it possible to calculate both the expansion dynamics of a high-current channel and the strong acoustic wave generated by it. Our calculations show that the number density of plasma in the channel reaches 10^20 cm^(–3), while the degree of water vapour ionization is about 10%, and the channel wall extends with a velocity of 500 m/s. The calculations for the acoustic wave are in good agreement with measurements
