A Probe Diagnostics for High-Speed Flows of Rarefied Partially Dissociated Plasma

摘要

A procedure of probe diagnostics of supersonic flows of rarefied partially dissociated plasma has been developed. It is shown that the use of a single cylindrical Langmuir probe and a pressure probe allows determination of the complete set of the local values of plasma parameters and the degrees of dissociation, nonisothermality, and flow ionization.
