This study compares finite element method (FEM) and phonon tracing for acoustic simulations. Combining these methods improves accuracy across frequencies, with calibration ensuring reliable results.

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Computational Physics
  • Computer Graphics

Background:

  • Acoustic simulations are crucial for architectural design and sound engineering.
  • Finite element method (FEM) accurately models low-frequency acoustics, including diffraction.
  • Phonon tracing, a geometric method, excels in medium-to-high frequencies but struggles with diffraction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comparative visualization of acoustic simulation results from two distinct methods.
  • To evaluate the combined performance of FEM and phonon tracing within a unified simulation algorithm.
  • To determine the optimal frequency ranges for each method and calibrate their integration.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing a hybrid simulation algorithm combining FEM and phonon tracing.
