Available methods for room-related sound presentation are introduced and evaluated. A focus is put on the synthesis side rather than on complete transmission systems. Different methods are compared using common, though quite general criteria. The methods selected for comparison are: INTENSITY STEREOPHONY after Blumlein, vector-base amplitude panning (VBAP), 5.1-SURROUND and its discrete-channel derivatives, synthesis with spherical harmonics (AMBISONICS, HOA), synthesis based on the boundary method, namely, wave-field synthesis (WFS), and binaural-cue selection methods (e.g., DIRAC). While VBAP, 5.1-SURROUND and other discrete-channel-based methods show a number of practical advantages, they do, in the end, not aim at authentic sound-field reproduction. The so-called holophonic methods that do so, particularly, HOA and WFS, have specific advantages and disadvantages which will be discussed. Yet, both methods are under continuous development, and a decision in favor of one of them should be taken from a strictly application-oriented point of view by considering relevant application-specific advantages and disadvantages in detail.

Block-based physical modeling is a methodology for modeling physical systems with different subsystems. Each subsystem may be modeled according to a different paradigm. Connecting systems of diverse nature in the discrete-time domain requires a unified interconnection strategy. Such a strategy is provided by the well-known wave digital principle, which had been introduced initially for the design of digital filters. It serves as a starting point for the more general idea of blockbased physical modeling, where arbitrary discrete-time state space representations can communicate via wave variables. An example in musical acoustics shows the application of block-based modeling to multidimensional physical systems.

Continuous multidimensional systems described by partial differential equations can be represented by discrete systems in a number of ways. However, the relations between the various forms of continuous, semi-continuous, and discrete multidimensional systems do not fit into an established framework like in the case of one-dimensional systems. This paper contributes to the development of such a framework in the case of multidimensional systems. First, different forms of partial differential equations of physics-based systems are presented. Secondly, it is shown how the different forms of continuous multidimensional systems lead to certain discrete models in current use (finite-difference models, multidimensional wave digital filters, transfer function models). The links between these discrete models are established on the basis of the respective continuous descriptions. The presentation is based on three examples of physical systems (heat flow, transmission of electrical signals, acoustic wave propagation).
