Abstract
The sound field produced when a spherical sound wave is incident on a rigid many-sided barrier or pillar is calculated on the basis of Keller's geometrical theory of diffraction, Kouyoumjian and Pathak's asymptotic solution for a single wedge, and Pierce's method for a doubly diffracted wave. From a comparison between calculated results and experimental results, it is shown that the method described is applicable to the prediction of the propagation of noise around a thick barrier, a building, a number of these obstacles, or a number of thin barriers, with an extremely high accuracy.
