Fig. 7

The x-axis is the aspect ratio of the biaxial ellipsoid target with dimensions of 2a × 2b × 2c, where b = c, and the y-axis is the geometric factor relative to a spherical target, Psp, in percentiles. The aspect ratio is defined as b/a. The black line with error bars resulted from Maxwell Z-model simulations, while the red line was from iSALE-2D simulations. The Maxwell Z-model’s error bar gives 1σ uncertainties. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
