A ray tracing computer model, NORMAL, has been developed for predicting the sound "eld in any shaped enclosed space without curved surfaces, including long enclosures of rectangular cross-section. The model was developed speci"cally as a basis for the modelling of speech intelligibility in undergrou

โฆ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with field estimation by the ray tracing method (RTM) in two-dimensional (2D) tunnels with arbitrary cross section whose dimension is relatively large compared with the wavelength. The tunnel wall is approximated as a combination of plates. We investigate the accuracy of RTM in comparison with a rigorous solution or finite volume time domain (FVTD) solutions. It is shown that RTM provides accurate numerical results for the field distribution in a rectangular tunnel when its dimension is larger than 20O. For the tunnel with a curved wall, such as a circular or semicircular tunnel, it is shown that the radius of curvature should be greater than 20O to obtain accurate numerical results based on RTM.
