EXPERIMENTS ON CYLINDRICAL ELECTROSTATIC PROBES IN SLIGHTLY IONIZED HYPERSONIC FLOW,

Abstract

An understanding of the current collection process in ionized media is important for the effective use of biased electrostatic probes (ESP), used in diagnosing such properties as electron density and charged - particle temperature. Significant ionized media arise in the atmosphere and space, in hypersonic environments, in laboratory simulations, and in devices, wherein observation, communication and power production are typical objectives.
