Abstract
In this study, the compact explicit-finite difference time domain (CE-FDTD) method is applied to the three-dimensional sound field analysis to reduce computer resources. There are various derivative schemes in the CE-FDTD method. They are first examined theoretically to evaluate the numerical accuracy. As a theoretical result, it is found that the interpolated wide band (IWB) scheme has the widest bandwidth in which the cut-off frequency is in agreement with the Nyquist frequency. The calculation performance is theoretically estimated, then experimentally evaluated with the graphics processing unit cluster system. As a result, it is found that the memory usage of the IWB scheme is less than one-third of that of the standard leapfrog (SLF) scheme to achieve the same cut-off frequency. It is also found that the calculation time of the IWB scheme with the shared memory is about 19% compared with that of the SLF scheme with the graphics processing unit (GPU) cluster system. The impulse response is calculated for a large room with a volume capacity of about 4500 m3 in which the sampling rate was 40 kHz. It is confirmed that the three-dimensional sound field with the natural reverberation can be calculated by the IWB scheme.
