My notes mention sonic transition of a fluid. Is it where the speed of the fluid elements cross the speed of sound in the medium they are located?

    $\begingroup$ Yes. It is the location where the mach number $M\equiv v/c_{\rm sound}=1$. Is there anything more specific you wish to ask? $\endgroup$
