A combination of experimental measurements with a numerical model is used to find the intensive radiation properties — extinction coefficient, scattering albedo and scattering phase function — of SiC particle suspensions with varying particle loadings. The experimentally determined angular radiation distribution of irradiated SiC samples is applied to fit a collision-based Monte Carlo model with a continuous participating media defining the particle suspension. A validation case with glass microspheres and Mie theory is used to verify the modeling procedure. Two types of SiC particles with dissimilar optical characteristics are examined and the respective radiation properties are determined for porosities between 0.70–0.95. The extinction coefficients of both types of SiC particle are in good agreement with the dependent scattering correlation of Kaviany and Singh.

A combination of experimental measurements with a numerical model is used to find the volume-averaged radiation properties-extinction coefficient, scattering albedo and approximated scattering phase function-of SiC particle suspensions with varying parti cle loadings. The experimentally determined angular radiation distribution of irradiated SiC samples is applied to fit a collision-based Monte Carlo (MC) model with a continuous participating media defining the particle suspension. A validation case with glass micro spheres and Mie theory is implemented to verify the modeling procedure. Two types of SiC particles with dissimilar optical characteristics are examined and the respective radiation properties are determined for particle loadings between 0.05 and 0.30. The extinction coefficients of both types of SiC particle are in good agreement with the dependent scattering correlation ofKaviany and Singh.
