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 shaping 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 …
