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 …

As the primary means of communication, voice plays an important role in daily life. Voice
also conveys personal information such as social status, personal traits, and the emotional …

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

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 …

We present a recently developed approach for the modeling of fluid–solid–acoustic
interaction problems. For the efficient numerical solution of the coupled three-field problem …

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 …

Purpose Our goal was to test prevailing assumptions about the underlying biomechanical
and aeroacoustic mechanisms associated with phonotraumatic lesions of the vocal folds …

Acoustic data has long been harvested in fundamental voice investigations since it is easily
obtained using a microphone. However, acoustic signals alone do not reveal much about …

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