Plate 11.5.8 Isolines of Mach number as computed using the (65 × 33) mesh
superimposed on the color map of a reference solution on a (225 × 113) mesh. One
isoline has been drawn every 0.001 ranging from 0.07 to 0.13. The bottom figure
compares the Mach number isolines of the two solutions, where the darkest line is
the reference solution.
