Hybrid model for room acoustics
🔊 Exciting research alert! We’ve developed a hybrid model for room acoustics that bridges the gap between different modeling techniques to provide a comprehensive understanding of how sound behaves in various environments. Our approach combines three methods:– Image Source Method for high-frequency sound reflections.– Acoustic Diffusion Equation for transitioning to a more diffused sound field at high…

Collaboration with eScience center on room acoustics software
The ability to predict acoustics of indoor spaces is highly important to for example avoid noise annoyance in open plan office, to promote speech transmission in sport halls and to optimize acoustics in concert halls. Do to the nature of sound with its small wavelengths compared to the dimensions of typical indoor spaces, no researchers…

Paper about a local time stepping approach of the Discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method for room acoustics
Paper alert! Applying the Discontinuous Galerkin time-domain methods to room acoustics is time consuming if the mesh needs local refinement for geometrical reasons. In this JASA paper, a discontinuous time stepping approach is successfully presented, implying a release of the high computational constraint for meshes with strong local refinements. A next step in wave-based room…
