The particle shape influences the efficiencies of scattering (Qsca) curves versus size parameter (X) and consequently on the overall single scattering properties of a sample of particles in random orientation. In order to show how the influence of the shape works, a model consisting of aggregates of different numbers of spheres has been used to fit laboratory measurements of fly ashes.
