Large industrial hall with non-uniform absorption, 3 fitting zones and 30 workplace (i.e. 30 receivers)
Description
Very large industrial hall (107m x 42m x 5m) with non-uniform absorption, multiple sound sources (5 configurations: 1 (C1), 12 (C2), 22 (C3), 7 (C4) and 30 (C5) sound sources), 30 receivers. This simulation includes 3 fitting zones, with the same diffusion properties.
What is tested?
Comparison between SPPS and experimental data from [Ondet, 1988]. Additional information concerning the experimentation are given in [Ondet, 1984].

Reference
CAUTION - The following results present comparisons between numerical simulations carried out with I-Simpa and 'reference' data available in the scientific literature.
- It is difficult to prejudge the concept of 'reference'. The deviation between the simulations and the reference data that can be observed do not necessarily call into question the corresponding simulations but can also be associated with other sources of deviation (modeling assumptions, numerical instabilities, experimental uncertainties, etc.).
- Note also that these comparaisons can also show the limitations of some numerical codes.
Results
Sound pressure level (configuration C1)
For all the 5 configurations (C1 to C5), the figures of the sound pressure level at the 30 receivers show a similar behavior between the SPPS results and the experimental data. However, we observe a "systematic" offset around 3-4 dB (overestimation of SPPS) with the reference data. Because, all results are given in absolute sound level (i.e. considering the sound power level of each source given in the reference article), one can assume a strong estimation of the source power of each source.
