The original PDF supplies the intended profiles , and ; the TeX has corrupted the first two. At fixed , , and at fixed , . The spherical continuity equation is therefore
Since is nonzero, the continuity equation for a superbubble similarity solution is
The ambient gas is at rest. In the locally stationary shock frame, its velocity is ; the downstream velocity is . Using the shock compression ratio from part (a) converts the downstream speed back to the laboratory frame and gives the inner shock boundary conditions
Immediately outside the shock, the corresponding unperturbed profiles are , and , with understood in the negligible-ambient-pressure limit.
The inner boundary must supply the injected power. If the source is idealized as a point and the profiles extend all the way inward, central energy input in a similarity solution requires
or equivalently . A finite source region or an inner wind/contact region supplies a different matching description. One cannot impose a regular zero-flux centre on a source-free interior and still inject nonzero power.
