Abstract

Stabilities, instabilities and turbulences have always appeared into a cylindrical magnetized argon plasma. These phenomena are caused by linear or nonlinear dynamics and are interpreted with the linear or nonlinear theory accordingly. In this paper, an experimental study accompanied by theoretical justification and based on the wave–wave interaction has been made; an azimuthally moved driving wave is enforced in a very simple way. The turbulence stabilization, the wave coupling, the instability synchronization and other wavy interactions, which are caused by using an external spatiotemporal electric signal, are presented. The research of the wavy subjects continuing in our laboratory aspires to comprehend the plasma chaotic behavior and take a step into suppressing the unstable inclination.
