Abstract:Due to the large increase of populations in urban areas and the impact of sound phenomena on their life, the control of noise in cities is now of great importance. To predict acoustic fields for various urban situations, several theoretical approaches are currently under development. One of these is based on the diffusion theory [J. Picaut et al., Acust. Acta Acust. 83(4), 614–621 (1997)]. Whatever the model used, good predictions will be obtained only if the acoustic sources are accurately modeled. Those sour… 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.
