Top panel: duty-cycle in the radius ranges 1−2 R0, 2−3 R0, 1−3 R0, and > 3 R0 for a wind clump number distribution nRcα. A value α ~ 5 represents a wind dominated by small clumps, whereas α2 ~ 2.5 is an observational value for Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars; R0 is the minimum clump size given by Eq. (1). Bottom panel: duty-cycle weighted by the effective section of the shock, and therefore its potential luminosity, shown in units of the luminosity L0 produced in the interaction of one clump of R = R0 with the jet. The case > 3 R0 is not shown as it may imply jet disruption.
