Computation of the coupled thermo-optical scattering properties of random particulate systems (Q996677): Difference between revisions

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the overall scattering behavior of light by aggregates of randomly distributed particles. In view of this, a ray-tracing algorithm and a stochastic genetic algorithm are presented to treat coupled inverse optical scattering formulations. In here, particulate volume fractions, refractive indices and thermal constants are sought so that the overall response of a sample of randomly distributed particles would match desired coupled scattering, thermal and infrared responses. To illustrate the overall procedure, large-scale numerical simulations are also presented.
