Abstract

The spatio-temporal dynamics of self-excited ionization waves in a neon glow discharge is experimentally investigated. Various mechanisms leading to ionization waves chaos and turbulence are identified: subharmonics cascade, Ruelle-Takens-Newhouse scenario, and spatio-temporal intermittency. The dynamical states involved in the transition scenarios from stability to chaotic regimes are characterized through both temporal and spatio-temporal analysis by means of the Biorthogonal Decomposition (BD).
