Quasi-cubic room with specular reflection and uniform absorption
Description
Academic case: Quasi cubic room (8m x 10m x 9m) with specular reflection (no diffusion) and 10% uniform surface absorption, with a single source and 7 punctual receivers
What is tested?
Comparison between simulations and results from the NORMAL code described in [Yang, 2000].
[Yang, 2000] L.N. Yang, B.M. Shield, Development of ray tracing computer model for the prediction of the sound field in long enclosures, Journal of Sound and Vibration, Volume 229, Issue 1, 2000, Pages 133-146, ISSN 0022-460X, dx.doi.org/10.1006/jsvi.1999.2477.
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.
