Notes. Porosity is not included in these predictions, i.e., the clumps are assumed to be optically thin. We emphasize that the mass-loss rates given here have been calculated assuming that all of the change in wind energy contributes to . However, e.g. in the case in which clumping sets in at 0.4   3 this is unlikely and most of the change contributes to 3.
