Architectural Acoustics: Towards a Benchmark in Computational Room Acoustics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1995, an intercomparison on room acoustics computer simulations was launched, the so-called round robin I. The object of interest was a mid-sized auditorium. That project also included a small measurement project, where sessions of impulse response measurements were carried out with several teams and instrumentation. Since that time, the variations in the results obtained by computer simulations and those obtained by measurements were studied more deeply, and this was the starting point for two more round robins focusing on aspects other room sizes such as a multi-purpose hall and a rather small recording studio. Also, investigations on the uncertainty in ISO 3382 measurements were initiated. In this short presentation the historic round robins I to III are re-visited and plans for a round robins IV focusing on auralization on room acoustics are discussed.

Boundary Conditions for Room Acoustic Simulations
Research on room acoustic simulation focuses on more accurate modeling of wave effects in rooms. Today, also wave models (e.g., the boundary element method and the finite differences in time domain technique) can be used for higher frequencies, thus, in the geometrical acoustics (GA) domain. Simulations in architectural acoustics are powerful tools but their reliability depends on the input dat...

To achieve enough variability for different performances, a number of new concert halls with secondary hard chambers coupled to the main floor have recently received positive evaluations. As a result, the acoustics of coupled spaces is drawing growing attention in architectural acoustics. In these coupled spaces, the sound energy decays with different exponential constants under certain conditi...
متن کاملIntegrating Real-Time Room Acoustics Simulation into a CAD Modeling Software to Enhance the Architectural Design Process
For architects, real-time 3D visual rendering of CAD-models is a valuable tool. The architect usually perceives the visual appearance of the building interior in a natural and realistic way during the design process. Unfortunately this only emphasizes the role of the visual appearance of a building, while the acoustics often remain disregarded. Controlling the room acoustics is not integrated i...

The role of acoustics in architectural planning processes is often neglected if the designer lacks necessary experience in acoustics. Even if an acoustic consultant is involved he might be presented with limited options after the initial planning process. Some disadvantageous decisions might be hard to reverse then. To improve and facilitate the construction process permanent immediate feedback...
متن کاملIssues for computer modelling of room acoustics in non-concert hall settings
The basic principle of common room acoustics computer models is the energy-based geometrical room acoustics theory. The energy-based calculation relies on the averaging effect provided when there are many reflections from many different directions, which is well suited for large concert halls at medium and high frequencies. In recent years computer modelling has become an established tool in ar...
