A method is presented for predicting the saturation levels and particle transport in weakly unstable systems with a discrete number of modes. Conditions are established for either steady-state or pulsating responses when several modes are excited for cases where there is and there is not resonance overlap. The conditions for saturation and the associated transport are discussed. Depending on parameters, the saturation level can be low, with only a small fraction of the available free energy released to waves and with no global transport, or the saturation level can be quite high, with almost complete conversion of free energy to wave energy coupled with rapid transport. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
