Abstract:In a complex outdoor environment, meteorological factors have been found to affect the sound field. On one hand, boundary element methods are particularly well adapted to calculate the sound pressure above complex boundaries (various absorbing properties and shapes) in a homogeneous atmosphere. On the other hand, a few models have been recently developed to describe the acoustic propagation in inhomogeneous media (normal modes, residue series, parabolic equation, fast field program...). Meteo-BEM is a new hybr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
