Actually,the hash marks are a convention Koenig-Fachsenfeld used in his book to denote the region compromised by too rapid a pressure rise.You could read it as detached flow,reversed flow,eddies,turbulence,or attached vortices which would not 'show,' looking at the centerline.
Kind of a cheap and dirty way to 'think' about aft-body flow.
