Reflections of a Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） solitary wave and an envelope solitary wave are studied by using the particle-in-cell simulation method. Defining the phase shift of the reflected solitary wave, we notice that there is a phase shift of the reflected KdV solitary wave, while there is no phase...
