Polydisperse powders of spherical shell particles and nonspherical, three dimensionally dense aggregates were dispersed as turbulent jets through an abrupt orifice nozzle and in-situ small angle light scattering measurements were made. In contrast to traditional studies, the light scattering data were plotted versus the scattering wave vector rather than the scattering angle; we call this q-space analysis. For dense aggregates distinct power law trends emerged, similar to those discovered previously for spherical Mie scatterers. Moreover, when the system was very polydisperse, either with a broad bimodal or monotonic with extreme range, the q-space analysis provided particle size distribution information about these aerosol systems which was unapparent when plotted as a function of the scattering angle.
