Simulation of Sound Waves Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method for Fluid Flow: Benchmark Cases for Outdoor Sound Propagation. [PDF]
Propagation of sound waves in air can be considered as a special case of fluid dynamics. Consequently, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid flow can be used for simulating sound propagation.

Discovering acoustic structure of novel sounds [PDF]
Natural sounds have substantial acoustic structure (predictability, nonrandomness) in their spectral and temporal compositions. Listeners are expected to exploit this structure to distinguish simultaneous sound sources; however, previous studies confounded acoustic structure and listening experience.

Acoustic Antennas for Atmospheric Echo Sounding [PDF]
The successful utilization of acoustic waves for atmospheric echo sounding requires an efficient antenna, with high on-axis gain and suppressed sidelobes. Existing microwave antennas and optical searchlights have been adapted for acoustic use, and their performance measured.

Acoustic architecture before science. The case of Amsterdam's Concertgebouw
Concert halls are designed for attentively listening to music. To guarantee that the listening experience mediated by these buildings is acoustically correct, architects rely upon math- ematical formulas to measure and predict how a building will sound ...

Compressive acoustic sound speed profile estimation [PDF]
Ocean acoustic sound speed profile (SSP) estimation requires the inversion of acoustic fields using limited observations. Compressive sensing (CS) asserts that certain underdetermined problems can be solved in high resolution, provided their solutions are sparse.
