Abstract

Waveguide mesh models that simulate airborne acoustics require extra non-physical rules to accurately represent acoustic propagation collisions with objects. In this paper we describe a physics-based cellula automata of fluid flow phenomena which simulates acoustic as a by-product, in which such rules are unnecessary. We evaluate our simulation with respect to sound speed and boundary interactions. Applications include audio signal processing and computer generated sound.
