AB - The use of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simula-tions is relevant for several applications in virtual acous-tics. One of these is the numerical calculation of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). This study investi-gates the effect of varying the geometrical complexity(shape, level of details) of a human head/torso model onthe calculation of its HRTFs using an FDTD solver. Inparticular, the interest is on the accuracy of the obtainedsimulation results with respect to the human head/torsomodel complexity. For that aim, a solution verificationprocess is undertaken, and a single sphere, a two-sphereand a human head and torso models are considered. Theresults indicate that relatively small 95% confidence in-tervals on the solution verification results are achieved,indicating relatively good accuracy for the prediction ofHRTFs up to relatively high frequencies for the single andtwo-sphere models considered. However, for the simpli-fied human head and torso model, a similar accuracy isachieved only up to a lower frequency.
