How is a mach number expressed?
The slow shocks are regarded as switch-off shocks. We approximate here the fast shock is a perpendicular hydrodynamic shock.
The Loop Top Temperature and The Sound Speed in the Region 2 The balance between the heating rate and the conduction cooling rate
Magnetic Energy Conversion through Slow Shock Surface (switch-off limit) The 60% of released magnetic energy becomes kinetic energy. (Magnetic Reconnection, pp.133, Priest & Forbes, 2000)

The Mach Number X: density ratio (slow shock surfce) For a low-β switch-off shock
A mach number is expressed with only region 1 values. This equation predicts… Mf~2.1 Numerical simulation results show that… Shock surface The location along the red line versus Mach number Mf X point
Parameter Dependence Numerical simulation results show that… 0.2 0.5 This gives the intensity of the fast shocks. This estimation can also apply to the situation of a loop top source region of a flare. We expect that our result will be confirmed by the detail observation of coronal jets and flares by Solar-B.
