Abstract
In future, electromagnetic launchers are considered for transporting payloads to the space. Although many developments are achieved, still some technological barriers exist. Further studies are required to overcome these challenges. To develop electromagnetic launchers require experimental and theoretical studies in addition to the simulations. In this study an electromagnetic launcher is simulated. During simulation, magnetic flux density and self-induction are calculated using Monte Carlo methods. Following, these values are used to solve coupled equations of motion and electric circuit. Finally, this study ends with the presentation of the current and velocity profiles in the time domain.
