Contours of the logarithm of the stellar density in the x–z plane along the bar semimajor axis for models W05 and W00 at selected times. The disk in model W05 thickens gradually to develop a B/P bulge, while the disk in model W00 undergoes buckling instability at ﹩t=3.5\,\mathrm{Gyr}﹩ to become asymmetric with respect to the z = 0 plane.
