The most important breakthrough in the study of it was the discovery of the inverse scattering method.
In 1834 John Scott Russell followed a "rounded, smooth, and well defined heap of water" for one or two miles, in the process discovering this phenomenon. Two of them can pass through one another unmodified, and they were named by Zabursky and Kruskal. The most important breakthrough in the study of it was the discovery of the inverse scattering method. Governed by the Sine- Gordon and Korteweg-de Vries equations, among others, FTP, identify this phenomenon, a stable, isolated, traveling nonlinear wave..
