![ Top panel: The fission barrier lowering by the mass-asymmetry obtained by the (in principle exact) Imaginary Water Flow method - IWF and by the (easier, but sometimes misleading) minimization method - MIN. Bottom panel: The difference between both methods in MeV (in principle - the error in the barrier height due to the minimization method).

Role of the triaxiality
-----------------------

The importance of including triaxiality in a calculation of fission barrier heights was indicated many times before [@CWIOK92; @CWIOK94; @CWIOK96; @GHERGH99; @DUTTA00; @DECHARGE2003; @BONNEAU04; @Cwiok05; @DOB2007; @KOWAL2009]. In particular, it was shown that the effect of [*both*]{} quadrupole
