An accurate simulation of the light scattering by non spherical particles is important for a variety of applications ranging from planetary science to nanoscale power transfer a number of methods. The scattering of light by spherical particles can be easily computed using the conventional mie theory however most small solid particles encountered in natural and laboratory conditions have nonspherical shapes examples are soot and mineral aerosols cirrus cloud particles snow and frost crystals ocean hydrosols interplanetary and cometary dust grains and microorganisms it is now well known that scattering properties of nonspherical particles can differ dramatically from those of .
