Modelagem acústica de salas através da técnica de malhas de guias digitais de ondas

Abstract

The modeling of reverberant environments using techniques based on geometry, such as Ray Tracing or behavior-based wave, such as Finite Elements are devoted respectively to large and small places . But the great difficulty arises in the simulation of medium enclosures, based on precision to the geometrical approach and the computational cost for the behavior-based wave. Therefore, the objective of this work is to obtain Impulse Response Room (Room Impulse Response - RIR ) in midsize through technical Digital Waveguide Mesh ( Digital Waveguide Mesh - DWG ) environments . During the simulations the excitation was made by a half-sine, representing an approximation of the Dirac Delta. To simulate the reverberant field, were explored different geometries of meshes. Applying the results obtained it was possible to predict numerically the acoustic behavior of a sample of the same audio playing through the auralization. Added to this, certain parameters of acoustic quality which are directly derived from the RIR could be calculated . Finally, a comparative study of the RIR obtained experimentally , theoretically and via DWG was performed . From the initial proposal of the work , we have reached a computational tool able to predict the acoustic behavior in two and three dimensional environments , a relatively low computational time and quality in their results . Therefore , it was possible to make a preliminary analysis of the acoustic quality of the room , including allowing the sound reproduced in the virtual room.
