Spatio temporal dynamics of the positive column of a dc neon glow discharge is studied and investigated experimentally
and theoretically. Spatio temporal analysis by means of biorthogonal decomposition method (BOD)
gives insights into the mechanism of irregularity and can be employed for characterization of spatio- temporal
complexity. In the weak nonlinear region, the wave dynamics is approximated by an amplitude equation of the
Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) with complex coefcients and an additional integral term based on a uid
model. In the present work we deal with irregular spatio-temporal data. A comparison between the numerical
analysis of the experimental data and simulation results are studied. A good agreement between the dynamical
behaviour for experimental space-time data and theoretical simulation space-time results was obtained |
