Predicted UV and Lyα escape fraction as a function of for the clumpy media studied in Fig. 21 (N0 = 1 (triangle), N0 = 4 (circle) and N0 = 10 (square)). Top: fesc(UV) obtained from our simulations compared to Eq. (17) used by HO06 to carry out their figure shown in the left panel of Fig. 21. Middle: Lyα escape fraction fesc(Lyα) predicted by our models for vexp = 50 km s-1. Bottom: same as middle panel for vexp = 250 km s-1. As in Hansen & Oh (2006), the Lyα escape fraction is derived here at the line centre (i.e. the intrinsic Lyα line is a delta function in our simulations) While a clear decrease in the fesc(Lyα) with increasing is found, HO06 instead assumes a constant value of fesc(Lyα), indicated in the figure, independently of the dust optical depth . More precisely, HO06 assumes fesc(Lyα) = (0.94; 0.68; 0.38) for vexp = 50 km s-1 and fesc(Lyα) = (0.81; 0.43; 0.18) for vexp = 250 km s-1.
