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 …

Pulsatile flow through a one-sided diffuser and static divergent vocal-fold models is
investigated to ascertain the relevance of viscous-driven flow asymmetries in the larynx. The …

Abstract Flow through a driven, 7.5 times life-size vocal fold model was investigated at
corresponding life-size flow rates of Q mean= 89.1 ml/s, 159.4 ml/s, and 253.0 ml/s. The flow …

Pulsatile two-dimensional flow through static divergent models of the human vocal folds is
investigated. Although the motivation for this study is speech production, the results are …

Large eddy simulation (LES)-based computational aeroacoustics techniques were applied
to a static model of the human glottis, idealized here as a planar channel with an orifice, to …

Pulsatile two-dimensional flow through asymmetric static divergent models of the human
vocal folds is investigated. Included glottal divergence angles are varied between 10° and …

The complex three-way interaction between airflow, tissue, and sound, for asymmetric vocal
fold vibration, is not well understood. Current modeling efforts are not able to explain clinical …

Flow through a rigid model of the human vocal tract featuring a divergent glottis was
numerically modeled using the Reynolds–averaged Navier–Stokes approach. A number of …

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis results when the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which innervates
the muscles of the vocal folds becomes damaged. The loss of muscle and tension control to …

Human voice production arises from the biomechanical interaction between vocal fold
vibrations and airflow dynamics. Changes in vocal fold stiffness can lead to changes in vocal …
