Caption: Figure 4.

Top panel: a snapshot of the electron fluid velocity, Vex, at ΩciT = 500. Middle panel: 1D profiles of Vex, spatially averaged over the y-​​​​direction (black line) and sliced at Y/λi = 1020 and 1130 (orange and blue lines), respectively. Bottom panel: 1D profiles of the electron density, spatially averaged over the y-direction (black line) and sliced at Y/λi = 1020 and 1130 (orange and blue lines), respectively. The black dashed horizontal line corresponds to the shock compression ratio, r = 3.24.
