Abstract

In room-acoustics modeling, the sound atmospheric attenuation

is a critical phenomenon that have

to be taken into account to obtain correct predictions, especially

when high frequencies

and large enclosures are simulated.

A finite difference scheme

implementation of the diffusion equation model

with a mixed boundary condition is

evaluated, including the air absorption

within the room.

This paper focus on investigate the performance of

this implementation for room-acoustics simulation.

In particular, the stability condition is developed

to compare the features of the solution

both with and without the air absorption term.

Moreover,

the correct behavior of the numerical implementation

has been studied

comparing predicted results

using different surfaces and air absorption coefficients.
