Abstract:We present a radiative heat flux probe capable of directly accessing a radiative boundary layer around an ablative sample. Unlike previous approaches that have suffered from pollution of the optical system by ablative species, our probe utilizes a system for preventing contamination of the optical system. We are therefore able to make measurements over a long period of time during testing in a plasma torch facility. The probe operates on a battery-powered system and can therefore be installed in facilities wit… Show more
