97		Some of the papers referenced in my library (see below) for shock/clump interactions present theoretical estimates for the thickness of the bow shock. The results presented here should be explored further to see if they align with these estimates. Further more, while the time scale on which the clump/bow shock boundary becomes unstable to the Kelvin-Helmholtz, Rayleigh-Taylor, and nonlinear thin shell instabilities is roughly a clump crushing time, I expect the wave length of the resulting instabilities may also be a function of the upstream mach number.
