The application discloses a transition measurement method based on a
plasma probe, wherein the
plasma probe is arranged at different positions of an undisturbed part of an aircraft surface; the probe arrangement position is subjected to
simulation analysis of aerodynamic heat and a temperature field in a
flight process, and a probe material is selected according to a
simulation result; three-dimensional
plasma flow
field simulation results are obtained for typical states in a transition window interval of a flight profile; three-dimensional
plasma flow field
electron density data are extracted, and a range of the plasma probe is determined according to the three-dimensional
plasma flow field
electron density data; a probe circuit is designed, and a plasma probe
measurement device is obtained; the plasma probe
measurement device is used to obtain a measured current-
voltage curve and a saturated
ion current of the probe, and
electron density data are calculated according to the measured current-
voltage curve and the saturated
ion current, that is, a transition measurement
signal of the probe plasma in the
flight test, and a step change time of the transition measurement
signal is taken as a transition
occurrence time of measurement; according to the measured transition
occurrence time, combined with
telemetry data of the
flight test, a transition measurement result is obtained, and validity of the transition measurement result is confirmed.
