A Comparison of Two Diffuse Boundary Models Based on Finite Differences Schemes

In room acoustics, the reflection and scattering of sound waves at the boundaries strongly determines the behaviour within the enclosed space itself. Therefore, the accurate simulation of the acoustic characteristics of a boundary is an important part of any room acoustics prediction model, and in particular diffuse reflections at a boundary is one of the most important properties to model correctly for an accurate and perceptually natural result. This paper presents a comparison of two simulation models for the phenomenon of diffuse reflection at a boundary: one based on introducing physical variations at the boundary itself, and another based on the use of a diffusion equation model.
