Dust acoustic nonlinear waves are studied using gas dynamical approach. The structure equation for dust fluid has been obtained using the conservation laws for mass flux and momentum. The role of dust sonic point for the formation of soliton has been discussed. Conditions for the existence of soliton have been derived in terms of collective Mach number, taking into account the dust charge variation.
