Mathematical and Physical Analysis of the Effect of Conical and Detached Shock Waves at the Tip of a Static Probe in an Experimental Chamber

As part of the research in the field of pumping vacuum chambers in the Environmental Electron Microscope, research on supersonic flow through apertures is being carried out at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Technology of the Brno University of Technology in cooperation with the Institute of Scientific Instruments of the CAS. This paper deals with the influence of the shape of the static probe cone design for static pressure measurements in the supersonic flow regime in the Experimental Chamber. The cone of the probe has an effect on the shape of the shock wave, which significantly influences the detected static pressure value.
