The Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions relate the mass density $\rho$, velocity $v$, and pressure $P$ on both sides of a shock. For ideal gases and non-oblique shocks the conservation of mass, momentum and energy across the shock can be written as follows \citep[][chap.~7]{1967pswh.book.....Z}, where the state before the front of the shock front is marked by the index 0, that behind the shock by index 1:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eqn:RH1}\rho_0 v_0
&=& & = & \rho_1 v_1\\
\label{eqn:RH2}P_0+\rho_0 v_0^2
&=& & = & P_1+\rho_1 v_1^2\\
\label{eqn:RH3}\frac{5
P_0}{2\rho_0}+\frac{v_0^2}{2}&=&\frac{5 P_0}{2\rho_0}+\frac{v_0^2}{2}& = &\frac{5 P_1}{2\rho_1}+\frac{v_1^2}{2} \ .\\
\end{eqnarray}
Initially, the stellar wind is relatively cold and thus the thermodynamic pressure can be neglected, setting $P_0=0$.
