    Hary Prakoso starts to work on CHORAS

    This month, we had the kick-off of the graduation project of Hary Dhimas Prakoso. He is a trainee in the TU/e programme software engineering, EngD ST. It is two years ago we started building the community hub for open-source room acoustics software CHORAS, and Hary will continue the development of this platform, in particular the…

  • New paper on acoustic impedance of vegetated roofs

    New paper on acoustic impedance of vegetated roofs

    Urban vegetation—especially vegetated roofs—has real potential for noise mitigation. But accurately measuring their acoustic properties in situ is not as straightforward as it seems. In our new paper, “Influence of transducer locations on acoustic impedance prediction in porous systems with application to vegetated roofs,” we take a close look at how small errors in source and microphone positioning can strongly affect the…

    Paper on the acoustic diffusion equation model in long rooms

    We are happy to share our latest Applied Acoustics article:“An empirical diffusion coefficient function for the acoustic diffusion equation model in long rooms” In this work, we tackle one of the limitations of the acoustic diffusion equation, when applied to elongated spaces. We propose a spatially varying, empirically derived diffusion coefficient, optimized against radiosity simulations, and…
