Characteristics of the Solitary Wave
The existence of the solitary wave was first reported by J. Scott Russell in 1838. This wave consists of a single elevation that seems to be propagated at constant velocity and unaltered in form. The solitary wave has assumed importance because of the occurrence under a variety of natural circumstances of solitary-like waves whose behavior apparently approximates that of the solitary wave. This similarity suggests the possibility of predicting the effects of these waves through knowledge of the characteristics of the solitary wave. For the purpose of such predictions, there is available a fund of theoretical treatments with some experimental confirmation, mostly based on very early investigations.
