-Now, the psuedo-colors plots are in the original coordinate system, whereas the vector plot has been tilted to look like the colliding flow scenario. The psuedo plots show that over the forward shock, the velocity field becomes completely parallel to the shock front (i.e. the x-component vanishes). 
+Now, the psuedo-colors plots are in the original coordinate system, whereas the vector plot has been tilted to look like the colliding flow scenario. The psuedo plots show that over the forward shock, the velocity field becomes completely parallel to the shock front (i.e. the x-component vanishes). This forces vy to go to zero over the slow shock front to maintain symmetry (the flow solutions must be rotationally-invariant).

+Now, for the finite case, we have the following density plot:

 Vortices for 2D finite case, generating ram pressure that leads to stair-casing effects, the effect of kinking of the field on top and bottom on outer wave front (stalling that happens), 2 ideas for re-orientation:
