Applications of the Monte Carlo Method to Architectural Acoustics

Abstract
The Monte Carlo method of numerical analysis is applied to the determination of mean free paths and acoustic weighting factors relating probability of collision with walls in rectangular parallelopipeds. The method of calculation is discussed and its extension to determination of reverberation times in coupled rooms and auditoria is evaluated. Tables of relative wall collision probabilities are given for rectangular parallelopipeds of various proportions.
