We present the results of simulations which show that stochastic line-profile variations (LPVS) of Wolf-Rayet emission lines can be reproduced with an inhomogeneous wind model, in which line-emission arises from a large number of discrete wind emission elements (DWEES). A comparison between simulations and LPVS from 9 WR stars provides useful information about the nature of the inhomogeneous and dynamical structure of the wind. Although the detailed spatial/fractal structure of the inhomogeneous wind is poorly constrained by analysis of LPVS, simulations suggest the wind to be highly fragmented, being composed of at least 104 DWEES in the line-emission region. Analysis of lpv patterns reaveal DWEES to be associated with large fluctuations in the velocity field. These fluctuations are locally anisotropic; the velocity dispersions of DWEES. are systematically larger in the radial direction (≈vr ≍ 200 km s−1) than in the transverse direction (σvθ ≈ 50 kms−1). lpv patterns also yield estimates of the wind acceleration, which can be used to test hypotheses about the wind velocity-law.
