Abstract

Temporal dynamics of space charge structures have been extensively investigated both experimentally and by simulation, showing a variety of nonlinear comportments such as bifurcations, chaos, mode locking, synchronization, stochastic resonance, etc. In this paper, we present an alternative analysis of phase synchronization in a system of two coupled van der Pol oscilators modeling the dynamics of charge structures in a double electrical glow discharge plasma. This system was previously demonstrated to model correctly the nonlinear dynamics of this particular experimental..
