George Gabriel Stokes shows that solitary waves can arise from a combination of periodic waves.

They are a solitary wave called a soliton, which is a wave that has a single crest and moves without changing speed or shape.

"You need these three states in order to produce a solitary wave propagating through a medium," Dr. Vicsek said.

A soliton is a type of self-reinforcing solitary wave.

Apart from this nonlinearity, barchans behave rather like solitary waves.

For the normal water level, an ideal solitary wave is surplus.

Although the solitary wave carried within it uncountable gigawatts of energy, Jon and the Spindrift were quite safe.

Solitons are solitary waves; the Severn bore is a good example.

We call such solution a solitary wave.

In the limit of infinite wavelength, the cnoidal wave becomes a solitary wave.
