✦ Synopsis


In the study of the behaviors of barriers in an enclosed "eld, one should take into account such phenomena as sound energy re#ection, absorption, scattering and di!raction. Therefore, the study is much more di$cult than that in free "eld. In this paper, sound barriers are classi"ed into four kinds according to their size, number and shape. Each kind of barriers is modelled by a corresponding method based on a computer program*SOFIS. The program combines the ray-tracing technique and statistical method. The impulse response and some acoustical parameters such as sound pressure level at di!erent positions can be calculated by the program, no matter there are a certain kind of barriers in the "eld or the "eld is empty. The ray-tracing program and the algorithms for various barriers are validated by the comparison between measurement and prediction of the reverberation room and the anechoic room of the Northwestern Polytechnic University.
