Abstract

The wave-based Fourier Pseudospectral time-domain (Fourier-PSTD) method was shown to be an effective way of modeling outdoor acoustic propagation problems as described by the linearized Euler equations (LEE), but is limited to real-valued frequency independent boundary conditions and predominantly staircase-like boundary shapes. A hybrid modeling approach was recently presented to solve the LEE, coupling Fourier-PSTD with the nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) time domain method. The hybrid approach allows the computation of complex geometries by using the benefits of the DG methodology at the boundaries while keeping Fourier-PSTD in the bulk of the domain. This paper presents the implementation of arbitrary boundary conditions in the novel methodology, for instance, frequency dependent boundaries. The paper includes an application case of sound propagation for an urban scenario and the comparison of the numerical results with experimental data.
