    2424A naive calculation of L,,shock,, using the instantaneous cooling rate at T,,shock,, would implies that run A is bow only, run D is trans only, run E is neither, and that run F is marginally trans only.  However it does appear that run F has both a cooling bow shock and transmitted shock.  To understand the discrepancy we should consider the following figure where we have plotted the cooling lengths in units of clump radius as a function of wind velocity for the bow shock as well as for the transmitted shocks with [[latex($\chi$)]] = 10 & 100

     26Not here we have calculated the cooling length by integrating along the cooling curve until the temperature has dropped by half.  To see the same curve but using the instantaneous cooling rate see [attachment:CoolingLengths.png this image]
