A. Doicu et al., Light scattering simulation and measurement of monodisperse spheroids using a phase Doppler anemometer, PART PART S, 15(6), 1998, pp. 257-262
Mathematical tools are provided for the computation of the scattered field
produced by non-spherical particles moving through the measurement volume o
f a phase Doppler anemometer. The phase distribution of a spheroid with ran
dom orientation is computed by using the rigorous extended boundary conditi
on method and the ray theory. In a phase Doppler experiment the spheroid pa
rameters are obtained by fitting the measured phase distribution with the s
imulated phase distribution. The numerical simulations are supported by exp
erimental results on monodisperse spheroids.
