“…In order to compensate for the non-linear temperature distribution in air, this paper presents a novel sound velocity compensation method by constructing a three-dimensional (3D) temperature field of measurement space. Temperature field construction is widely used in indoor environment evaluation (Ghiaus and Ghiaus, 1999;Nishioka et al, 2000), industrial processing (Wang et al, 2010) and architecture fields (Han et al, 2003;Paskin et al, 2005) to analyse the thermodynamic properties. According to the heat transfer theory (Sentenac et al, 2012) and finite element method (Guo et al, 2010;Tay et al, 1974;Yang et al, 2010a), the temperature field can be constructed through boundary temperature of the measurement space.…”
