Calculation of time-varying equivalent inductance and resistance of helical flux compression generators using 2-D filamentary method and dynamic matrix concept

In this paper we present an approach to calculate the time varying equivalent inductance and resistance of the helical flux compression generators accurately. This approach is based on the 2-D filamentary method and using dynamic matrix concept. By using this method, we can consider both the effects of the armature presence and frequency on the inductance and resistance of the HFCGs. The latter effect has not been discussed in previous opened literature.
