Abstract
In the present study, characteristics of the acoustic field in an enclosure bounded by fractal walls are investigated using Cellular Automata (CA). CA is a discrete system which consists of finite state variables arranged on uniform grid (cell). The dynamics of CA is expressed by temporary updating the states of cells according to the local interaction rules, defined among a cell and its neighbors. In this paper, the influence of fractal shaped boundary structure to the reverberation and sound absorption characteristics of an enclosure is investigated for two dimensional acoustic wave propagation model described by CA. Local rules are provided for the construction of fractal patterns as well as representation of wave propagation phenomena. It is known by the numerical simulations that the damping enhancement and also frequency-selective absorbing behavior is seen for specific fractal patterns and stage numbers.
