Two types of coil launchers are the reluctance coil launcher and the induction coil launcher. Reluctance coil launchers use a ferromagnetic armature, which is generally smaller in diameter due to the armature’s magnetic saturation and higher density, while induction coil launchers use a conductive armature, which is generally larger in diameter. To improve the efficiency of coil launchers, this article proposes a hybrid armature structure for coil launchers in which the front end of the ferromagnetic armature is placed at the end of the coil and connected to the conductive armature by an insulating material half the length of the coil. To compare the efficiency of the hybrid armature with that of the original armature, three coil launchers of 11.8, 18.4, and 50 mm bore were selected to simulate the hybrid armature with different parameters and to verify the consistency of the simulation and experiment of the hybrid armature. The final results show that the efficiency of the ferromagnetic armature is better than that of the hybrid armature at 11.8 mm aperture. At 18.4 mm, the hybrid armature efficiency is 9.12%, an improvement of 4.08% compared to the original ferromagnetic armature. At 50 mm bore, at 1000 V, the optimum efficiency of the hybrid armature is 3.17%, an improvement of 2.73% compared to an aluminum armature of the same mass with load, at 2000 V, the optimum efficiency of the hybrid armature is 7.87%, an improvement of 5% compared to an aluminum armature of the same mass with load, and at 3000 V, the efficiency of the hybrid armature is lower than that of the aluminum armature directly with load. The findings provide new and effective ideas for improving the efficiency of coil launchers.","PeriodicalId":1,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of Chemical Research","volume":"52 8","pages":"3352-3359"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study examined the magnetic field differences between the two models at close, intermediate, and far distance ranges. It was found that the discrepancies between the magnetic fields predicted by the classical guided-wave M-component model (CGM) and modified guided-wave M-component model (MGM) were relatively small at close distances.

Currently, the fundamental strategy of disruption mitigation involves actively injecting significant quantities of impurity gas or solids (such as neon, argon, deuterium, etc.) to generate sufficient radiation power for dissipating the plasma’s energy. The most commonly used disruption mitigation devices now are massive gas injection (MGI) and shattered pellet injection (SPI). However, The impurity injection rate is low, resulting in shallow deposits in the tokamak. Electromagnetic pellet injection (EMPI) is a relatively new generation of disruption mitigation system developed in J-TEXT Tokamak. The system is based on the electromagnetic rail run concept. It uses electromagnetic force to launch the armature with an impurity pellet. The EMPI has been tested several times and the speed of the pellet has broken through the speed of sound, far exceeding the launch speed of the traditional disruption mitigation system. This means impurity is deposited at a deeper location. However, the rail length of EMPI is too long and the rail ablation is serious, so it is a challenging problem to satisfy the tokamak installation space requirements. Therefore, based on the EMPI, an enhanced EMPI is designed, which increases the electromagnetic force by increasing the magnetic field intensity within the bore. This enables the rail length to be decreased to meet the specified condition. Building upon this foundation, various armature-rail coupling structures have been designed. These structures are subjected to COMSOL finite element simulation to determine which rail-armature interface exhibits minimal ablation, superior electrical contact, and maximal armature launch velocity. Subsequently, the optimal rail-armature coupling scheme is validated through an experimentation test.","PeriodicalId":1,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of Chemical Research","volume":"52 8","pages":"3326-3334"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, first, a structural design scheme of a revolving armature with a tail-end connection is established and compared with the conventional armature structural design scheme. Second, the finite element calculation model of interference assembly is adopted, and the influence law of the improved armature structure parameters on the initial mechanical performance is obtained. The theoretical calculation results show that the change of armature structural parameters has a great influence on the contact area and little influence on the maximum equivalent stress. The contact force decreases sharply with the increase of the interference position L2, throat radius r, and crack width \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$c_w$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 of the tail, and increases sharply with the increase of the tail thickness t and interference amount \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$Delta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000.

Up to now, numerical simulation has been the only way to solve these problems but suffers from long running time and thus limits the large-scale optimization and control for these systems. This article proposes a rigorous port-equivalent order reduction method based on the Thevenin equivalence and short-circuit equivalence. This method can simplify the solution of multimodule linear circuits into the solution of multiple lower order circuits. If lower order circuits can be calculated analytically, the fully analytical calculation of the multimodule circuit can be realized. Otherwise, reducing the order can also greatly reduce the time of circuit simulation. On this basis, taking the meat grinder with a self-charged capacitor and thyristor (SECT) multimodule circuit as an example, its rapid and analytical calculation is demonstrated. Compared with the Simulink simulation, the results show that the method proposed in this article is about 50 times faster than the simulation, and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) is very small, which means that the calculation accuracy can well meet the requirements.","PeriodicalId":1,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of Chemical Research","volume":"52 8","pages":"3343-3351"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A critical challenge remains the identification of optimal soliton and efficient manipulation techniques. Previous research has primarily focused on the manipulation of two-dimensional solitons, such as skyrmions, domain walls, and vortices, by applied currents. The discovery of novel methods to control magnetic parameters, such as the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, through strain, temperature gradients, and applied voltages offers new avenues for energetically efficient manipulation of magnetic structures. In this work, we present a comprehensive study using numerical and analytical methods to investigate the stability and motion of various magnetic textures under the influence of DMI gradients.
