Use of the Bohm’s formula and its analogues in probe diagnostics
Simple algorithms are developed to proceed the probe characteristics in a number of limiting regimes when the characteristic probe size, rp, is relatively large (rp>103rD). It relates both to steady plasmas and to movement with the directed velocity, u. We consider the cases of collision-free (the Knudsen number, Kn≫1) and collisional (Kn≪1) plasmas. The majority of the proposed algorithms are tested in practice and confirm their reliability.
