Distribution of integrated oxygen concentration along -axis at plane in three cases of different initial MVD. The dotted lines represent the average oxygen concentrations. Case : the baseline model ((d) ; (e) ; (f) ); Case : a MVD value of 0.5 time of that in case ((a) ; (b) ; (c) ); Case : a MVD value 1.5 times larger than that in case ((g) ; (h) ; (i) ).
