Description
Explosively driven compressed magnetic field (CMF) power supplies have been used for a variety of applications. A two-dimensional MHD computational model, entitled COMAG, has been constructed to study the characteristics of helically wound CMF generators. The code combines an existing Eulerian materials response code with a two-dimensional (2D) magnetic field solver to compute the self-consistent interaction between the field and the conductors, including magnetic forces, Joule heating, and nonlinear resistive diffusion. Sample results are presented
