 Over the fast wave front, we see the expected bending of the velocity field away from the normal of the shock front, and corresponding bending of the field lines. The color bar for the streamline plot measures strength of B, and so we see that the field increases in strength over the first jump, but then decreases
+Over the fast wave front, we see the expected bending of the velocity field away from the normal of the shock, and corresponding bending of the field lines. The color bar for the streamline plot measures strength of B, and so we see that the field increases in strength over the first jump. The density increases over this jump. Over the slow-shock jump, the field now bends ''toward'' the normal of the shock, and this is because the field is tied to the opposing flow. Over this 2nd jump, the velocity interestingly goes to zero. The density increases further. There appears to be a contact discontinuity at the center of the configuration.

+To look at the jump conditions on the velocity more closely, here is a pseudo-color plot of the velocity. First is the vx velocity, then vy, and then vmag.
