沙尘暴粒子的非球形模型及其对激光的多次散射特性研究

计算沙尘暴对电磁波的衰减特性,以及利用卫星反射率遥感反演沙尘暴的光学厚度时,通常假设沙尘粒子为球形,但实验室和现场测量结果都表明,自然界中的沙尘粒子为非球形,因此利用球形粒子模型模拟沙尘暴对激光的散射和衰减特性将带来较大误差。利用具有一定尺寸分布、形状分布、随机取向的椭球粒子模型模拟自然界中的沙尘粒子,利用T矩阵方法计算了其单次散射特性,并与球形粒子模型进行了比较,结果表明,混合椭球粒子的相函数随角度分布是平滑的、无特征的、且在侧散射方向上是平坦的,这和自然界中的沙尘粒子散射特性非常类似。最后利用累加法计算了沙尘暴对激光的多次散射特性,结果表明,利用任何一种单一形状的粒子模拟沙尘粒子的散射特性都会带来较大的误差。

Light scattering by a spherical particle with multiple densely packed inclusions

This paper calculates light scattering by a spherical water particle containing densely packed inclusions at a visible wavelength 0.55 \mum by a combination of ray-tracing and Monte Carlo techniques. While the individual reflection and refraction events at the outer boundary of a sphere particle are considered by a ray-tracing program, the Monte Carlo routine simulates internal scattering processes. The main advantage of this method is that the shape of the particle can be arbitrary, and multiple scattering can be considered in the internal scattering processes. A dense-medium light-scattering theory based on the introduction of the static structure factor is used to calculate the phase function and asymmetry parameters for densely packed inclusions. Numerical results of the single scattering characteristics for a sphere containing multiple densely packed inclusions are given.     

Monte Carlo analysis of the internal structure of light scattering particles with slit-scan illumination

An algorithm based upon a Monte Carlo procedure for calculating the scattering and absorption by a host particle containing a distribution of particulate inclusions is described. The host particle is sufficiently large so that ray optics can be applied. The inclusions are too small for ray optics but sufficiently large so that the full boundary-value formalism must be used. A major consideration is to determine whether the internal structure is better resolved when slit-scan illumination is utilized rather than plane wave illumination. The algorithm is tested for a layered sphere for which the boundary value solution is available.

Multiple scattering of light by water cloud droplets with external and internal mixing of black carbon aerosols

The mixture of water cloud droplets with black carbon impurities is modeled by external and internal mixing models.The internal mixing model is modeled with a two-layered sphere(water cloud droplets containing black carbon(BC) inclusions),and the single scattering and absorption characteristics are calculated at the visible wavelength of 0.55 μm by using the Lorenz-Mie theory.The external mixing model is developed assuming that the same amount of BC particles are mixed with the water droplets externally.The multiple scattering characteristics are computed by using the Monte Carlo method.The results show that when the size of the BC aerosol is small,the reflection intensity of the internal mixing model is bigger than that of the external mixing model.However,if the size of the BC aerosol is big,the absorption of the internal mixing model will be larger than that of the external mixing model.     

Simulation of light scattering by large particles with randomly distributed spherical or cubic inclusions

An algorithm for simulation of light scattering by large spherical or cubic particles containing large spherical or cubic inclusions is developed. The computational procedure is based on ray tracing and a direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The proposed technique is capable of calculating scattering and polarization phase functions produced by an ensemble of randomly oriented particles containing large sized randomly distributed inclusions. In order to demonstrate the capacity of the computational procedure, the influence of the size of the inclusion on the scattering and polarization phase functions is examined in two configurations: spherical host with a concentric cubic inclusion and a cubic host with randomly distributed spherical inclusions.     

Polarization properties of light multiply scattered by non-spherical Rayleigh particles

Multiple scattering of incoherent polarized light propagating through a random medium comprised of spheroidal Rayleigh particles is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. Two approaches are taken for the implementation of the simulation: the first uses individual realizations of particle orientation and the second, an accelerated method, averages over the particle orientation. These different methods produce results that are indistinguishable within statistical errors. The depolarization of light is examined in both transmission and backscatter for media comprised of spheroids of different polarizability ratios. In media containing spheroidal particles the depolarization is greater than that for spherical particles. Media containing prolate spheroids are more depolarizing than media comprising oblate particles of the same polarizability ratio. The extra depolarization due to asphericity is much less pronounced in the multiple scattering regime than for single scattering.     

Anisotropic emission characteristics of semitransparent spherical particle with spherically asymmetric temperature distribution

The Monte Carlo ray-tracing method (MCRT) based on the concept of radiation distribution factor is extended to study the anisotropic emission characteristics of semitransparent spherical particle with spherically asymmetric temperature distribution. The dimensionless apparent spectral radiative intensity of particle emission is calculated by the radiation distribution factor. The effects of the related parameters on the dimensionless apparent spectral radiative intensity are analyzed and discussed. The results show that the anisotropy of particle emission increases with the spherically asymmetry of particle temperature, and the refractive index and the particle optical thickness strongly affect the anisotropic emission characteristics of semitransparent spherical particle with spherically asymmetric temperature distribution.

Simulation of the infrared radiation characteristics of high-temperature exhaust plume including particles using the backward Monte Carlo method

The analysis of the infrared radiation characteristics of high-temperature free-stream flow including particles is very significant for the field of target detection, combustion diagnosis and temperature measurement of flame. In this paper, the infrared radiation characteristics of high-temperature free-stream flow are calculated and analyzed using the backward Monte Carlo method, considering the effect of the directional radiation heat flux due to the particle scattering and the different boundary conditions. The calculation results of emitting, absorbing and anisotropically scattering media are compared with the forward Monte Carlo and finite-volume methods results, which shows the superiority on computational efficiency with the backward Monte Carlo method.     

Polarization properties of light multiply scattered by non-spherical Rayleigh particles

Abstract

Multiple scattering of incoherent polarized light propagating through a random medium comprised of spheroidal Rayleigh particles is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. Two approaches are taken for the implementation of the simulation: the first uses individual realizations of particle orientation and the second, an accelerated method, averages over the particle orientation. These different methods produce results that are indistinguishable within statistical errors. The depolarization of light is examined in both transmission and backscatter for media comprised of spheroids of different polarizability ratios. In media containing spheroidal particles the depolarization is greater than that for spherical particles. Media containing prolate spheroids are more depolarizing than media comprising oblate particles of the same polarizability ratio. The extra depolarization due to asphericity is much less pronounced in the multiple scattering regime than for single scattering.
