Cumulative distribution of the porosity in the final body. The curves correspond to the cases shown in Fig. 2 (axis ratio 0.7) and Fig. 3 (axis ratio 0.4), respectively. The porosity calculation takes into account compaction as well as the increase of macroporosity. For comparison, the porosity distributions resulting from compaction only are shown as well. The final average porosity (compaction plus macroporosity by re-accumulation) is 85.1% (axis ratio 0.7) and 82.3% (axis ratio 0.4), while the initial porosity was 77.8%.
