Three-dimensional rendering of the bow shock for the (a) laminar and (b) turbulent solar wind cases. Ion density is represented in blue hues. A threshold density of nth = 101/4n0 is applied, such that all regions in which ni < nth are made transparent. A linear transparency profile is applied from ni = nth to ni = 6n0, and so low-density regions are more transparent than high-density ones. Upstream magnetic field lines crossing the ion foreshock regions are drawn in red.
