Forward and inverse analysis for particle size distribution measurements of disperse samples: A review
Grzegorz Świrniak, Janusz Mroczka
Abstract
Light scattering is used for remote diagnostics of certain physical properties of particulate systems. The main purpose of this review is to coherently present an updated theoretical background of forward and inverse analysis for particle size distribution measurements of disperse samples. In particular, both well-tried and recent methods for analytical and numerical treatment of measurement data inversion are examined. An extensive bibliography is included for further study.
