In this laboratory, you will experiment with a virtual acoustic tube model, as an introduction to the physics governing real acoustic tubes. As discussed in the digital waveguide model laboratory assignment, virtual models allow engineers and researchers to experiment with theoretical modifications to various structures, and predict the acoustic consequences of these modifications through computer-based simulation. The acoustic tube, which we will simulate in this lab, is an important building block in musical acoustics.
Ideally, this lab should be preceded by exposure to the traveling waves laboratory assignment.
