Phenomenology of spiral arms, occurrence of free-fall regions, free-fall region evacuation, repeated analysis along the same initial streamline family as for run C1.

Run + label Spiral arm shape Free-fall onto CPD? FFR evacuated? Tpre Tpost Ptot,prePstat, post
C1 “nominal” Concave Yes Yes 30 90 >2
C2 “belllin” Concave Yes Yes 33 120 >2
H1 “high opacity” Convex No No 70 90 1
H2 “deep” Straight No No 105 170 1

Notes. Sample values pre-to-post-shock in order to showcase significant differences. Values are taken above the midplane, to avoid effects of a “foot”-type post-shock region. The pre-shock temperature for the “cold” simulations, C1 and C2 are essentially the disc temperatures. For the hotter simulations H2 and H1, the pre-shock temperatures rise significantly due to radiative precursors.
