The application of recursive aggregate T-matrix algorithm
in the Monte-Carlo simulations of the extinction rate
of random distribution of particles
C. C. Lu, W. C. Chew and L. Tsang
The recursive T-matrix algorithm is applied to Monte Carlo
simulations of multiple scattering by random distribution of
dielectric spheres. The method is a fast algorithm for calculating the
exact solution of Maxwell's equations for a large number of
scattering objects. The extinction rate is calculated by
averaging over many realizations. The computed results are
compared with those from analytic approximations,
namely, the quasi-crystalline approximation.
