TSF shock structure

plots of density, velocity and temperature.

shell density: 104 /cc, velocity: 50 km/s, temperature: 10 K, width: 0.005 pc

wind density: 1.0 /cc, velocity: 150 km/s, temperature: 106 K, gradually slowing down (you can see the slight slope of the wind velocity at the final frame, however the linear decrease spans 20 pc, our box is only 0.5 pc so no noticeable slow down can be observed.

density: in log-linear plot. normalized to the shell density (104 /cc)

temperature: in log-linear plot. normalized to the wind temperature (106 K)

velocity: in linear-linear plot. normalized to wind velocity (150 km/s)

under the new shell and wind speed, the clump crushing time is around 10kyrs, so the following movie shows the shock structure over 1 clump crushing time.

This looks OK in general however one thing I'm not sure is that there is an expanding buffer region between the shell and the wind.

same assumption as above, with 0.035 pc shell:
