CAD Tools and Computing in Architectural and Urban Acoustics
Buildings, 2021 Contemporary architectural and urban planning aims at optimal development of the environment, including in terms of acoustics. As such, support with computer-aided design (CAD) tools is, nowadays, obligatory. The authors present investigation outcomes of

Optimizing acoustic design for dual-function concert and speech halls [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe acoustic design of multipurpose halls requires a careful balance between speech intelligibility and music clarity, necessitating precise control of reverberation time (RT), sound distribution, and clarity.

Instantaneous and time-averaged intensity flow measurements in scale models [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2023 Current methods of representing energy flows in rooms have been limited to stationary pressure contour maps or intensity vectors derived from finite-element modeling (FEM) software.

Ten questions concerning Architectural Acoustics
Building and EnvironmentBuilding and room acoustics are relatively modern architectural and engineering disciplines. Nevertheless, acoustics was also a concern for buildings in the past, e.g., in theatres in ancient Greece and in Roman times. Nowadays, we spend 80–90 % of our time indoors, and sound impacts our communication and actions in an environment to a great extent ...

Bayesian estimations of dissipation, sound speed, and microphone positions in impedance tubes [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 Sound speed, microphone positions, and tube wall dissipation are critical parameters for absorption and impedance measurements using the transfer-function method in an impedance tube. This work applies a Bayesian method, based on a reflection coefficient

The evolution of the multidisciplinary concept of audience space
Проект Байкал, 2023 In ancient Greece, architects sought to ensure that the sound of the voice reached the viewer’s ears “distinctly and pleasantly”. To do this, they turned to the theory of musical resonances and created a multidisciplinary concept of architecture.

Boundary admittance estimation for wave-based acoustic simulations using Bayesian inference [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 Acoustic surface admittance/impedance at domain boundaries is essential for wave-based acoustic simulations. This work applies two levels of Bayesian inference to estimate the order and the parameter values of the multipole admittance model.
