ellipsoidDomeType

The meridian of the dome is a quarter of an ellipse whose radial semi-axis is the cylinder radius R and whose axial semi-axis is the dome height h. halfAxisFraction is the ratio of the two, so h = R times that fraction.

A fraction of 1 gives a hemisphere, a fraction of 0 a flat end face, and a fraction above 1 a dome taller than the cylinder radius. The fraction is zero or larger.

The excerpt is the vacuum jacket of the example tank, whose domes are 0.94 m high at a cylinder radius of 1.45 m.
