The Signal Processing and Applied Mathematics Research Group at the Nevada National Security Site teamed up with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ (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).
Project Details
The Signal Processing and Applied Mathematics Research Group at the (NNSS) teamed up with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ (ERAU) to collaborate on a research project under the framework of MAA 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.
Support for this project is provided by funded by the National Science Foundation ().
