Shock profiles in lab frame (left) and frame in which shock is stationary (right). Assuming a compression ratio q = 4 and that the preshock medium does not move (v1 = 0), the postshock speed is 3/4 of the shock speed. In the shock frame, upstream and downstream side can be specified and the downstream speed equals 1/q the upstream speed.
