Zusammenfassung: | In this paper a hybrid model is introduced that constructs a broadband room impulse response using a geometrical (image source method) and a statistical method (acoustic diffusion equation) for the high-frequency range, supported by a wave-based method (time-domain discontinuous Galerkin method) for the low-frequency range. A crucial element concerns the construction of the high-frequency impulse response where a transition from a predominantly specular (image source) to a predominantly diffuse sound-field (diffusion equation) is required. To achieve this transition an analytical envelope is introduced. A key factor is the room-averaged scattering coefficient which accounts for all scattering behavior of the room and determines the speed of transition from a specular to a non-specular sound-field. To evaluate its performance, the model is compared to a broadband wave-based solver for two reference scenarios. The hybrid model shows promising results in terms of reverberation time (T20), center time (Ts) and bass-ratio (BR). Aspects such as the used geometrical complexity, the ‘room-averaged’ scattering coefficients, and other model simplifications and assumptions are discussed.
•Geometrical and statistical methods used for high-frequency range.•Wave-based method included for low-frequency range.•Focus on high-frequency impulse response transition.•Analytical envelope introduced to facilitate transition.•Emphasis on room-averaged scattering coefficient. |
