X-ray volume filling factor, fX, as a function of log rR*, for different shock distributions parameterized according to Eqs. (8) and (12) (see legend, and Table 4), and stellar and wind parameters for our ζ Pup-like model (Table 3). The vertical dotted line denotes the region where cooling and wind flow times are equal, tc = tf. Due to the large mass-loss rate, the ratio lsrs remains smaller than unity throughout the wind.
