Description
The Quasi Crystalline Approximation (QCA) is an approximated solution of the Foldy-Lax vector multiple scattering equation of light. it provides the evaluation of the configuration average scattering coefficient of a three-dimensional ensemble of spherical particles by taking into account the electromagnetic couplings up to the pair correlation function.
The Interference Approximation (ITA) also allows calculating the configuration average scattering coefficient of a three-dimensional ensemble of spherical particles assuming single coherent scattering.
Both models can be coupled to the N-Flux module, to evaluate the reflection and transmission coefficient of dense heterogeneous media.
