IMIX

IMIX = 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
Default: IMIX = 4 

Description: IMIX specifies the type of mixing.

---

• IMIX=0: no mixing.

$\rho_{\rm mix}=\rho_{\rm out}$

• IMIX=1: Kerker mixing.

The mixed density is given by

$\rho_{\rm mix}\left(G\right)=\rho_{\rm in}\left(G\right)+A \frac{G^2}{G^2+B^2}\left(\rho_{\rm out}\left(G\right)-\rho_{\rm in}\left(G\right)\right)$

with $A$=AMIX and $B$=BMIX

If BMIX is chosen to be very small, e.g. BMIX=0.0001, a simple straight mixing is obtained. Please mind, that BMIX=0 might cause floating point exceptions on some platforms.

• IMIX=2: A variant of the popular Tchebycheff mixing scheme.
• IMIX=3
• IMIX=4
