To achieve ever-increasing levels of energy per unit mass by this strategy requires detailed and thorough understanding of high-interaction magnetohydrodynamics (HIMHD) through realistic computer simulation. Such simulation is possible by the existing, HIMHD codes provided they undergo further validation in the high-interaction regime through systematic experiments. The present work has carried out a critical assessment of several methods for achieving high-interaction, high-magnetic Reynolds number MHD flows. It indicates that continuous flow (as contrasted to pulsed flow) plasmajet-drive MHD devices offer the greatest advantages and potential for validating the STD/MHD codes at high MHD interaction over a wide range of parameters with the greatest confidence. It has led to the definition of specific plasmajet-driven experiments, utilizing existing equipment, as the most effective way to carry out this task.
