The coupled Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (cKP) equation possesses N-soliton solutions with more parametric freedom than the solitons of the usual KP equation. Its solutions can therefore be expected to model far more complex interactions than their KP counterparts. The existence of ‘web’-like structures (on a finite scale) for cKP solutions (Isojima S, Willox R and Satsuma J 2002 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 6893–6909) is a manifestation of this greater freedom. In this paper, we propose a new method to analyse the behaviour of solitons which we demonstrate in some examples. In addition we discuss ‘essentially three-body collisions’, described by a two-soliton solution of the cKP equation.
