There are infinite such circles with their centre on the line AB, each representing the location of the disturbances due to the motion of the object. The lines propagating outwards from point B and tangent to all these circles are known as Mach lines.

If the flow turns enough so that it becomes parallel to the wall, we do not need to worry about pressure boundary condition.
