Abstract
Almost all the authors who studied shocks in accretion flows adopted one of the two kinds of approximations to the how: adiabatic or isothermal. And t hey usually adopted different shock conditions in the two cases. The calcul ation results of the shocks' properties, such as the shock location and the shock strength, are greatly different in the two cases. In the present pap er, we analyze the reason of the differences and show the respective effect s of the assumption to the how and of the shock condition upon the results.
