WELCOME

Welcome on the homepage of Timothy Van Renterghem. On this webpage, you will find more information on my research topics, focussing on environmental noise, numerical techniques for detailed outdoor sound propagation, the effect of vegetation on sound propagation, urban sound propagation and audio-visual interactions impacting environmental noise perception.

RESEARCH TOPICS

Environmental noise

How the wind negatively affects noise barrier performance and how this can be cured with trees...

Sound propagation in the urban environment...

The noise reducing potential of green roofs...

Road traffic noise reduction by tree belts...

The complex interaction between sound propagation and perception of wind turbines...

The finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD)...

Atmospheric dispersion modelling

By using this link (in Dutch) you will find out more on the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere, on the importance of temperature inversion conditions, which models can be used to make predictions, with focus on some difficult-to-measure situations...
