Abstract : Classical (Langmuir) probe theory is reviewed and the conditions under which it is applicable to the re-entry physics problem identified. Some later developments in probe theory, which account for flow velocity in the free- molecular case, are presented. Measurements of current densities have been made with ion probes mounted flush in the walls of a pressure-driven shock tube; the results are interpreted using a one-dimensional, collision-dominated probe theory, allowing for the… Expand
