Discrete sources method, DSM

Fig. 3.15. Normahzed differential scattering cross-sections of a fibre particle with a = 3.0pm and b = 0.06 pm. The curves are computed with the TAXSYM routine and the discrete sources method (DSM)...

In addition to the MMP code, the DSM (discrete sources method) code developed by Eremin and Orlov [61] will be used for computer simulations. This DSM code is devoted to the analysis of homogeneous, axisymmetric particles using distributed vector spherical wave functions. For highly elongated particles, the sources are distributed along the axis of symmetry of the particle, while for highly flattened particles, the sources are distributed in the complex plane (see Appendix B).
