Transient modeling of multiparallel tubular linear induction motors

In this paper, we model single and multiparallel generator driven tubular linear induction motors by the current filament method, in transient and dynamic states. Using a previously written code for transient and dynamic modeling of a single motor, we simulate a sample motor noted in a reference paper and compare the results with those obtained by using our current filament method. This comparison confirms the accuracy of our method. Finally, we model a system of two or more parallel motors and show that it is feasible to achieve greater muzzle velocities by paralleling certain designs of motors
