Abstract
For very steep solitary waves we found numerically the occurrence of a Rayleigh-Taylor instability on the top of the jet due to the head-on collision. A theoretical proof of the existence of this instability is given. Furthermore, the occurrence of this instability is corroborated by numerical computations of the vertical gradient of underwater pressure during the collision of the solitary waves.
