A computer simulation model for room sound field considering diffuse reflection

A multiple random ray-tracing model was developed for predicting the distribution of sound pressure levels in an enclosed space of any shape. This model considered two diffuse factors of a room-diffuse reflection due to room surfaces and scattering due to objects. The surface diffusion was treated by two different methods on the basis of probability analysis, and the scattering was simulated by a multiple random ray-tracing process. Thus the sound pressure level distribution in a diffuse sound filed can be calculate more precisely.
