Embry-Riddle partners with private and public entities to assist in developing solutions to today's and tomorrow's aeronautical and aerospace problems. Here at the world's largest aviation-oriented university, our focus on applied research is unique.

2017 PICMath: Mie Scattering Diagnostic

PI Mihhail Berezovski

The Signal Processing and Applied Mathematics Research Group at the Nevada National Security Site teamed up with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) to collaborate on a research project under the framework of PIC math program with challenge to make a recommendation about whether to use a technique, used in the air quality industry, called Mie scattering, and repurpose this method to measure particle sizes that are emitted from a metal surface when it's shocked by explosives.  

Support for this project is provided by MAA PIC Math (Preparation for Industrial Careers in Mathematics) Program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF grant DMS-1345499).

The Signal Processing and Applied Mathematics Research Group at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) teamed up with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) to collaborate on a research project under the framework of MAA PIC math program with challenge to make a recommendation about whether to use a technique, used in the air quality industry, called Mie scattering, and repurpose this method to measure particle sizes that are emitted from a metal surface when it's shocked by explosives.

Using simulated data derived from Mie scattering theory and existing codes provided by NNSS students validated the simulated measurement system. The construction data procedure was implemented with an additional choice of discretization technique: randomly distributed particle radii and incrementally discretized particle radii. The critical regions of sensors position were determined.
