Room Acoustical Fields

Room Acoustical Fields explores sound field theory with an emphasis on the wave character of acoustical fields. Readers will find revised mirror source methods for practical computational use, in addition to coverage of mirror point and corner sources.

This book presents the theory of room acoustical fields and revises the Mirror Source Methods for practical computational use, emphasizing the wave character of acoustical fields. The presented higher methods include the concepts of "Mirror Point Sources" and "Corner sources which allow for an excellent approximation of complex room geometries and even equipped rooms.
In contrast to classical description, this book extends the theory of sound fields describing them by their complex sound pressure and the particle velocity. This approach enables accurate descriptions of interference and absorption phenomena.
