Suppose that the atmosphere of a WC star is formed by clumps embedded in the homogeneous spherically symmetric stellar wind. A single clump may be modeled as a part of the spherical layer restricted with a surface of a cone. Present the gas density in the cone as a sum of gas density in homogeneous atmosphere and gas density in a clump: Here nk(r) is the gas density in the homogeneous atmosphere, Dcl is the ratio of gas densities at a point r = rcl, and δ is the size of the clumps in units rcl.
