Low room with perfectly reflection and total ground absorption
Description
Academic case: Low room (30m x 20m x 10m) with perfeclty diffuse and reflecting surfaces, except the ground with a total absorption, with a single source and 1 punctual receiver.
What is tested?
Comparison between SPPS and the results obtained using a hybrid method (image-sources and radiosity) as described in [Korany, 2001], for a room with total ground absorption.

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
Reverberation time (RT30)
The SPPS code gives a similar value of the reverberation time (RT30) than the hybrid method, while, as expected, the Sabine and Eyring formulae gives strong values for this specific room with a total absorption on the ground.
