Figure 5: Streamlines and Mach number contours in the orbital plane of the same model B as in Fig. 2. The Mach number contours are represented by the shade, and the numbers in the figure show typical Mach numbers. Streamlines are generated from points separated by the same distance. We observe that the flow rotates counterclockwise around the companion, which is a typical feature of RLOF type flows. |
