Numerical simulation on the pressure wave in a 30 mm electrothermal-chemical gun with the discharge rod plasma generator

An axisymmetric two-dimensional (2D) internal ballistic model including the transient burning rate law is used to simulate the 30 mm electrothermal-chemical (ETC) launch with the discharge rod plasma generator (DRPG). The relationship between the pressure wave and the initial parameters, such as inp...
