Abstract
Magnetic nozzles with their contactless feature have opened new grounds for long-distance space travels. For quicker mission completions along with improving system reliability, it becomes necessary to design robust systems that exhibit the ability to confine thrust. A semianalytical numerical method is proposed for rapid and assumption-less calculations of the magnetic field because of a thick coil with rectangular cross section. The method is extended for the proposal of a three-coil setup, where divergence angle of the magnetic field lines is readily controlled in-flight to provide the flexibility to modify the output magnetic thrust and the nozzle's efficiency.
