solitary wave
— Noun
– English
~ (physics) a quantum of energy or quasiparticle that can be propagated as a traveling wave in nonlinear systems and is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance; does not obey the superposition principle and does not dissipate; "soliton waves can travel long distances with little loss of energy or structure"

— Noun
– English
~ a wave resulting from the periodic flow of the tides that is caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun
tidal wave
— Noun
– English
~ an unusual (and often destructive) rise of water along the seashore caused by a storm or a combination of wind and high tide
tidal wave
— Noun
– English
~ an overwhelming manifestation of some emotion or phenomenon; "a tidal wave of nausea"; "the flood of letters hit him with the force of a tidal wave"; "a tidal wave of crime"
traveling wave
— Noun
