Artificial reverberators provide a computationally viable alternative to full-scale room acoustics simulation methods when used in interactive, immersive systems. Scattering delay network (SDN) is a relatively recent artificial reverberator that allows direct parametric control over the geometry of a simulated rectangular enclosure as well the directional characteristics of the simulated sound sources and microphones. Coupled volume SDN aims to extend the SDN structure for enclosures coupled via an aperture. The extension allows independently controlling the acoustical properties of the coupled enclosures and the size of the connecting aperture. The utility of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the acoustical features, initial level difference and decay ratio derived from the energy decay curves calculated using the impulse responses obtained from coupled volume SDNs.

Scattering Delay Network Simulator of Coupled Volume Acoustics Atalay, Timucin Berk; Su Gul, Zuhre; De Sena, Enzo; Cvetkovic, Zoran; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2022-01-01) IEEEArtificial reverberators provide a computationally viable alternative to full-scale room acoustics simulation methods for deployment in interactive, immersive systems. Scattering delay network (SDN) is an artificial reverberator that allows direct parametric control over the geometry of a simulated cuboid enclosure as well as the directional characteristics of the simulated sound sources and microphones. This paper extends the concept of SDN reverberators to multiple enclosures coupled via an aperture. ...
Source directivity simulation in digital waveguide mesh based room acoustics models Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Günel Kılıç, Banu (null; 2007-03-15) Digital waveguide meshes provide a computationally simple physical modelling approach for simulating wave propagation inside enclosures such as rooms. A digital waveguide mesh allows access both to the pressure values at scattering junctions and to the incoming and outgoing wave variables at those junctions. It is thus possible to access both the pressure and the velocity components of the simulated sound field. This paper proposes a simple method to excite a digital waveguide mesh with outgoing wave variab...
Hydrodynamic picture of light trapping in integrated photonic nanostructures and metamaterials Boriskina, Svetlana V.; Yerci, Selçuk; Chen, Gang (null; 2013-01-01) We introduce a concept of light trapping on the nanoscale via pinning optical vortices to optimally-designed nanostructures, reveal this mechanism behind known focusing phenomena, and offer new approaches to design nanophotonic platforms and/or coupling schemes. © 2013 Optical Society of America.
Scattering delay network an interactive reverberator for computer games Enzo, De Sena; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran (2011-02-02) Many 3D computer games incorporate audio renderers simulating room acoustics to provide the user with a high level of immersiveness and realism. Full-scale interactive room auralisation systems are impractical for use in computer games due to their high computational cost. As a low-cost alternative, artificial reverberators can be used. This paper is concerned with the design of a scalable interactive reverberator inspired by digital waveguide mesh (DWM) models and feedback delay networks (FDN). This reverb...
Frequency Domain Scattering Delay Networks for Simulating Room Acoustics in Virtual Environments De Sena, Enzo; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran (2011-11-28) Modelling, simulation and auralisation of room acoustics plays an important role in computer games and virtual reality applications by increasing the level of realism. Accurate simulation of room acoustics is a computationally costly process which is often substituted with artificial reverberators that provide a computationally simpler alternative. However, such systems lack the accuracy and are not in general able to accurately simulate important aspects of room acoustics such as early reflections, source/...
