Experiment measured light attenuation and simulated values with a Lambert–Beer model and b Cornet model. In a, K_a is the extinction coefficient (m²·g⁻¹), X is the microalgae concentration (g·L⁻¹), b is the fitting constant (m⁻¹). In b, E_a is the mass absorption coefficient (m²·g⁻¹), and E_s is the mass scattering coefficient (m²·g⁻¹). Lines are simulation results and points are experimental measurements
