Validation of an Efficient Outdoor Sound Propagation Model Using BEM

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review

    Abstract

    An approximate, simple and practical model for prediction of outdoor sound propagation exists based on ray theory, diffraction theory and Fresnel-zone considerations [1]. This model, which can predict sound propagation over non-flat terrain, has been validated for combinations of flat ground, hills and barriers, but it still needs to be validated for configurations that involve combinations of valleys and barriers. In order to do this a boundary element model has been implemented in MATLAB to serve as a reliable reference.
