Ion-Injected MagnetoHydroDynamic Duct Drive (IIMHD-Drive): Extended Theoretical Framework (Version 2.0)

Ion-Injected MagnetoHydroDynamic Duct Drive (IIMHD-Drive): Extended Theoretical Framework (Version 2.0)

Abstract

This Version 2.1 release extends the theoretical IIMHD-Drive framework by adding supplementary simulation material. In addition to the main Version 2.0 PDF, this update includes: • a simple 1D Python toy-model (iimhd_simulation.py) illustrating velocity growth inside the MHD duct based on the analytical relations of the paper, • a README explaining the simulation, assumptions, and parameters, • a velocity profile plot (iimhd_velocity_profile.png), • and an exhaust kinetic power plot (iimhd_power_profile.png). These supplementary files provide a qualitative visualization of Lorentz-force-driven acceleration and complement the mathematical derivations presented in Version 2.0. The simulation is conceptual and intended for educational and exploratory purposes, not as a physical CFD/MHD model. ⸻ Keywords MHD propulsion, plasma acceleration, Lorentz force, electric propulsion, theoretical modeling, open science.
