Technical Note: Remark on The Formal Identity of Two Statistical-Acoustics Models of Coupled Rooms

摘要

Confusion can result because the two best-known statistical-acoustics models of energy decay in coupled rooms give variant predictions, despite being derived from identical base assumptions. It is shown here that the model given by Cremer and Muller is formally identical to the model given by Kuttruff and that differences between the models arise only if Cremer and Mueller's approximate solution method is followed. An exact formulation of Cremer and Mueller's model is given explicitly and its predictions are shown to agree with those of Kuttruff's model.
