Non-isotropic clumping can also favor “sideways” escape, and
thus suppression of the bluest and reddest photons, if the clumps
are oblate.This makes lines
more symmetric.
The Venetian
Blind Model...
Oblate clumps might be
expected from the line-force instability, since it is a radial force…
On the other hand, prolate
structures might be expected to develop from classical plasma two-fluid
instabilities (Rayleigh-Taylor; Richtmeyer-Meshkov)
