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 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 …

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 model constructed from Navier-Stokes equations and a two-mass vocal fold description is
proposed in this study. The composite model not only has the capability to describe the …

During phonation, the vocal folds exhibit a self-sustained oscillatory motion, which is
influenced by the physical properties of the speaker's vocal folds and driven by the balance …

Self-sustained oscillations of the vocal folds (VFs) during phonation are the result of the
energy exchange between the airflow and VF tissue. Understanding this mechanism …

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 …

The self-excited oscillation of airway structures and flexible tubes in response to flow is
reviewed. The structures range from tiny airways deep in the lung causing wheezing at the …

Current models of the vocal folds derive their shape from approximate information rather
than from exactly measured data. The objective of this study was to obtain detailed …
