Numerical Investigation on Scattering of an Arbitrarily Incident Bessel Beam by Fractal Soot Aggregates

Scattering of an arbitrarily incident Bessel beam by fractal soot aggregates is numerically investigated. The incident beam is described by the vector expressions of the zero-order Bessel beam in combination with rotation Euler angles. The scattering problems involving fractal soot aggregates are formulated with a hybrid vector finite element-boundary integral-domain decomposition method. Some numerical results are included to show the scattering behaviors of fractal soot aggregates when they are illuminated by Bessel beams.
