METHODS OF HIGH-SPEED MEASUREMENTS IN GAS DYNAMICS AND PLASMA PHYSICS,

Abstract

Described are the most promising methods of low-inertia measurements of speed, density, temperature, pressure, concentrations, intensity of magnetic and electrical fields in shock tubes and plasma injectors, in devices for rapid compression of ionized gas by the magnetic field and in other pulse gas dynamic and plasma apparatuses. A short analysis is given of the different methods of obtaining shock waves, high-speed flow of gas and high-temperature plasma. Examined in detail are methods of observations of high-speed gas flows and different methods of quantitative measurements of the density of neutral particles and electrons. The application of spectral methods for pulse measurements of temperature and concentrations and also the use of methods of temporal mass spectroscopy in pulse plasma apparatuses are shown. (Author)
