In a recent paper, we described two approximate phase functions for the scattering of light by monodisperse particles. One phase function for particles of size small or comparable to the wavelength of scattering radiation and the other for larger particles. Validity of these phase functions was established by comparing their predictions against Mie phase functions. In this paper we examine the validity of these phase functions for monodisperse aligned nonspherical particles. The nonspherical particles employed for examining approximate phase functions are spheroids and infinitely long cylinders. Results show that the predictions of our approximate phase functions are equally valid for nonspherical particles too.
