So solitary waves on a water surface are " near "-" solitons ", but not exactly after the interaction of two ( colliding or overtaking ) solitary waves, they have changed slightly in amplitude and an oscillatory residual is left behind.

:It's hard to see quite what's going on without a better understanding of the geography, but when a ship moves in a narrow channel it can produce a soliton wave ( a solitary wave of compression and then rarefaction which can retain its identity for a remarkable distance ).

He also did major research and wrote many books and papers on existence theory, numerical methods, differential operators in Hilbert space, non-linear buckling of plates, flows past wings, solitary waves, shock waves, combustion, magneto-fluid dynamical shock waves, relativistic flows, quantum field theory, perturbation of the continuous spectrum, scattering theory, and symmetric hyperbolic equations.
