 \noindent $\alpha=0$ is plotted in blue. It is constant. In this case, we expect the gas to oscillate for a while. $\alpha=\frac{1}{2}$ is magenta. $\alpha=1$ is plotted in yellow. It is the strongest cooling. We expect the gas to cool the quickest in this case, i.e. rapid dampening of oscillations.

 \noindent Since $ScaleCool=\frac{rScale*lScale}{m_H^2*VelScale^3}$, the cooling function will be stronger the bigger rScale and lScale values are. Also, note that $T_{shock} \propto v_0^2$:
