H. Laitinen et K. Lumme, T-MATRIX METHOD FOR GENERAL STAR-SHAPED PARTICLES - FIRST RESULTS, Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 60(3), 1998, pp. 325-334
The T-matrix method has almost exclusively been applied to rotationall
y symmetric particles. We have implemented a computer code which can h
andle any homogeneous, starshaped particle. General T-matrix expressio
ns are presented in a form suitable for computer code generation. Simp
le scattering problems are solved in order to show the capability of t
his method. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
