The second edition of Predicting Outdoor Sound is an up-to-date reference on the
propagation of sound close to the ground and its prediction. New content includes …

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, solving the inhomogeneous, moving
medium sound propagation equations, also referred to as the Linearized Euler (ian) …

Computational optimization methods are most often used to find a single or multiple optimal
or near-optimal solutions to the underlying optimization problem describing the problem at …

We present a novel hybrid approach that couples geometric and numerical acoustic
techniques for interactive sound propagation in complex environments. Our formulation is …

We present a novel method to generate plausible diffraction effects for interactive sound
propagation in dynamic scenes. Our approach precomputes a diffraction kernel for each …

Sound propagation in 3D spaces is governed by similar physical principles as light. As a
result, sound rendering in a 3D virtual environment can benefit from methods developed for …

Realistic sound effect synchronized with visual rendering can greatly improve the immersive
sense of a user in virtual reality (VR). Prior work focuses on sound propagation in air without …

A novel hybrid method for the efficient solution of complex acoustic multiple scattering
problems is proposed in this paper. The Wave Based Method and the Boundary Element …

Die numerische Akustik hat sich in den letzten Jahren parallel mit der schnell steigenden
Leistungsfähigkeit der Computer rasant weiterentwickelt und durchdringt nahezu alle …

Environmental noises can have a large impact on workplace productivity and health. We
address the problem of designing large CAD structures that automatically meet the noise …
