I have in the past talked about Computational Fluid Dynamics used to predict the optimal number of subwoofers and locations to get the smoothest response across a number of seating positions (most important in home theaters). I have had a very nice visualization of this that Keith Yates had performed in the process of designing our theater but I keep forgetting to upload it.
So I uploaded the volumetric version of the simulation. Later I will post the slice that is most important: what is happening at ear location.
The "iso" colors show the bass amplitudes. The ideal response would be one color for all frequencies and all locations which sadly is not possible. Three subs get us closer though than one.
The simulation is available all the way up to 1080p. You can follow the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R6S9G0RCiU&feature=youtu.be, and select that resolution and go full screen.
