The beam loading effect is one of main problems limiting the beam current. Usually this effect takes into account only in high energy electron linacs. Due to low energy electron and, especially, ion linacs nowadays current increasing the beam loading effect should be considered here. Self consistent beam dynamics simulation methods with Coulomb field and beam loading effect are discussed. The simulation results are in good agreement with experiment which have been carried out on NRNU MEPhI electron linac.
