Abstract:
In a recent research paper, we introduced the statistical wave field theory, which establishes the statistical laws of waves propagating in a bounded volume. These laws hold after many reflections on the boundary surface and at high frequency. The statistical wave field theory is the first statistical theory of reverberation that provides the closed-form expression of the power distribution and the correlations of the wave field jointly over time, frequency and space, in terms of the geometry and the specific admittance of the boundary surface. In this paper, we refine the theory predictions, by investigating the impact of a curved boundary surface on the wave field statistics. In particular, we provide an improved closed-form expression of the reverberation time in room acoustics that holds at lower frequency.
