solitary wave
A solitary wave, also called a soliton, is a single, localized wave disturbance or pulse that propagate at a constant velocity without changing its shape in mediums such as water, light, plasma, and other materials. These waves are a solution to certain mathematical equations that model physical phenomena such as fluid dynamics and optics. They can maintain their energy and shape due to a balance between dispersion and non-linear effects.
