Ion-Injected MagnetoHydroDynamic Duct Drive (IIMHD-Drive): Extended Theoretical Framework (Version 2.0)
Authors/Creators
Description
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.
