Partially coherent incident beam #193

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
In a recent paper ( http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jqsrt.2013.11.002 ) Liu et al. 
proposed an extension of the DDA to the partly coherent incident beam. It is 
just standard DDA results averaged over many instances of a stochastic (random) 
incident field. 

The easiest is to implement this feature by a wrap-around script, which will 
supply the instances of random field, run ADDA, and then post-process (average) 
the results. Alternatively, this can be integrated inside ADDA using some of 
the machinery of the orientation averaging.

An interesting research question is whether this can be done more efficiently. 
But probably that is possible only throught the inverse of the interaction 
matrix. In this respect the dilemma is similar to thermal DDA - issue 191.
