In this paper, we present a new approach to study the high frequency wave propagation inside a corridor by parabolic equation (PE) method. The configurations which often occur in corridor structures such as narrowing of the cross section which simulates presence of obstacles or furniture such as cupboards and the effect of variations of the corridor direction are been treated. We verify our approach by several canonical problems and comparing the numerical results with those reported in the literature.
