Abstract: A nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with an effect of viscosity is derived from a Korteweg‐de Vries (KdV) equation modified with viscosity using the method of multiple time scale. It is well known that the plane‐wave solution of the NLS equation exhibits modulational instability phenomenon. In this paper, the modulational instability of the plane‐wave solution of the NLS equation modified with viscosity is investigated. The corresponding modulational dispersion relation is expressed as a quadratic equation with complex‐valued coefficients. By restricting the modulational wavenumber into the case of narrow‐banded spectra, it is observed that a type of dissipation, in this case the effect of viscosity, stabilizes the modulational instability, as confirmed by earlier findings.
