Current–voltage characteristics of a flat probe in a rarified plasma flow
Annotation
Mathematical and numerical models of a collision-free plasma flow about the flat probe are developed. The current–voltage characteristics of flat probes located along and transverse across the flow, as well as the distributions of the current density over the probe width, are obtained. The numerical simulation results might be applied in probe diagnostics of plasma flows.
