contents Context. Jets are commonly detected in post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries and originate from an accretion process onto the companion of the post-AGB primary. These jets are revealed by high-resolution spectral time series. Aims. This paper is part of a series. In this work, we move away from our previous parametric modelling and include a self-similar wind model that allows the physical properties of post-AGB binaries to be characterised. This model describes magnetically driven jets from a thin accretion disk threaded by a large-scale, near equipartition vertical field. Methods. We expanded our methodology in order to simulate the high-resolution dynamic spectra coming from the obscuration of the primary by the jets launched by the companion. We present the framework to exploit the self-similar jet models for post-AGB binaries. We performed a parameter study to investigate the impact of different parameters (inclination, accretion rate, inner and outer launching radius) on the synthetic spectra. Results. We successfully included the physical jet models into our framework. The synthetic spectra have a very similar orbital phase coverage and absorption strengths as the observational data. The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) jet models provide a good representation of the actual jet creation process in these evolved binaries. Challenges remain, however, as the needed high-accretion rate would induce accretion disks that are too hot in comparison to the data. Moreover, the rotational signature of the models is not detected in the observations. In future research, we will explore models with a higher disk ejection efficiency and even lower magnetisation in order to solve some of the remaining discrepancies between the observed and synthetic dynamic spectra.
