Worship Space

In this work, a diffusion equation model (DEM) is applied to a room acoustics case for in-depth sound field analysis. Background of the theory, the governing and boundary equations specifically applicable to this study are presented. A three-dimensional geometric model of a monumental worship space is composed. The DEM is solved over this model in a finite element framework to obtain sound energy densities. The sound field within the monument is numerically assessed; spatial sound energy distributions and flow vector analysis are conducted through the time-dependent DEM solutions.

Wave-based methods for acoustic simulations within enclosures suffer the numerical dispersion and then usually have evident dispersion error for problems with high wave numbers. To improve the upper limit of calculating frequency for 3D problems, a hybrid smoothed finite element method (hybrid SFEM) is proposed in this paper. This method employs the smoothing technique to realize the reduction of the numerical dispersion. By constructing a type of mixed smoothing domain, the traditional node-based and face-based smoothing techniques are mixed in the hybrid SFEM to give a more accurate stiffness matrix, which is widely believed to be the ultimate cause for the numerical dispersion error. The numerical examples demonstrate that the hybrid SFEM has better accuracy than the standard FEM and traditional smoothed FEMs under the condition of the same basic elements. Moreover, the hybrid SFEM also has good performance on the computational efficiency. A convergence experiment shows that it costs less time than other comparison methods to achieve the same computational accuracy.

A collocation finite element method for solving fractional diffusion equation for force-free case is considered. In this paper, we develop an approximation method based on collocation finite elements by cubic B-spline functions to solve fractional diffusion equation for force-free case formulated with Riemann-Liouville operator. Some numerical examples of interest are provided to show the accuracy of the method. A comparison between exact analytical solution and a numerical one has been made.
