This definitive guide covers the design and application of absorbers and diffusers in
acoustics. Surface diffusion is a relatively young subject area, and diffuser design …

Noise from traffic, industry and neighborhood is a prominent feature in urban environments.
In these environments, sound reaches receiver points through reflections and diffractions …

Sound propagation in urban and indoor environments often involves diffraction at corners,
finite objects and openings, resulting in perceptually relevant frequency-dependent …

A formulation of the problem of scattering from obstacles with edges is presented. The
formulation is based on decomposing the field into geometrical acoustics, first-order, and …

The inclusion of edge diffraction has long been recognized as an improvement to
geometrical-acoustics (GA) modeling techniques, particularly for acoustic simulations of …

The classical problem of edge diffraction (ED) from an infinite wedge of arbitrary angle
insonified by a point source has various analytical frequency-domain solutions dating back …

We present objective measurements of source-to-ear responses obtained in a previously
established experimental paradigm of human echolocation. We identify and analyze the …

Convincing simulation of diffraction around obstacles is critical in modeling sound
propagation in virtual environments. Due to the computational complexity of large-scale …

Geometric acoustic models have a lower computational complexity than wave-based
methods due to the assumption that sound propagates as rays, however this fails to consider …

We present a fast algorithm to accelerate geometric sound propagation in complex 3D
scenes. Our approach computes propagation paths from each source to the listener by …
