This article presents a review of the fluid dynamics, flow-structure interactions, and acoustics
associated with human phonation and speech. Our voice is produced through the process of …

Voiced speech is a highly complex process involving coupled interactions between the
vocal fold structure, aerodynamics, and acoustic field. Reduced-order lumped-element …

A new numerical approach for modeling a class of flow–structure interaction problems
typically encountered in biological systems is presented. In this approach, a previously …

A new flow-structure interaction method is presented, which couples a sharp-interface
immersed boundary method flow solver with a finite-element method based solid dynamics …

The false vocal folds are believed to be components of the acoustic filter that is responsible
for sha** the voice. However, the effects of false vocal folds on the vocal fold vibration and …

A synthetic two-layer, self-oscillating, life-size vocal fold model was used to study the
influence of the vocal tract and false folds on the glottal jet. The model vibrated at …

An immersed-boundary method based flow solver coupled with a finite-element solid
dynamics solver is employed in order to conduct direct-numerical simulations of phonatory …

Current theories of voice production depend critically upon knowledge of the near field flow
which emanates from the glottis. While most modern theories predict complex, three …

A direct numerical simulation of flow-structure interaction is carried out in a subject-specific
larynx model to study human phonation under physiological conditions. The simulation …

For the investigation of the physical processes of human phonation, inhomogeneous
synthetic vocal folds were developed to represent the full fluid-structure-acoustic coupling …
