Nonlinear dynamics

an averaged variational method describing slow changes in amplitude, wavenumber and frequency of nonlinear dispersive wavetrains.

In nonlinear dynamics, Whitham modulation theory refers to an averaged variational method describing slow changes in amplitude, wavenumber and frequency of nonlinear dispersive wavetrains. This meaning comes from Whitham (1965) in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.[1]
