A fluid-structure interaction model of vocal fold oscillation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since fluid-structure interaction within the finite-element method is state of the art in many engineering fields, this method is used in voice analysis. A quasi two-dimensional model of the vocal folds including the ventricular folds is presented. First results of self-sustained vocal fold oscillation are presented and possibilities as well as limitations are discussed.

An immersed-boundary method for flow-structure interaction in biological systems with application to phonation
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 developed, sharp-interface, immersed-boundary method for incompressible flows is used to model the fluid flow and a new, sharp-interface Cartesian grid, immersed boundary method is devised to solve the equations of linear v...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction in Human Phonation
Fluid-structure interaction in a simplified two-dimensional model of the larynx is considered to study human phonation. The flow is driven by an imposed pressure gradient across the glottis and interacts with the moving vocal folds in a self-sustained oscillation. The flow is computed by solving the 2D compressible Navier–Stokes equations using a high order finite difference method, which has b...
متن کاملInfluence of vocal fold stiffness and acoustic loading on flow-induced vibration of a single-layer vocal fold model.
The flow-induced vibrations of a single-layer vocal fold model were investigated as a function of vocal fold stiffness, and subglottal and supraglottal acoustic loading. Previously, it was reported that the single-layer vocal fold model failed to vibrate when short, clinically-relevant tracheal tubes were used. Moreover, it was reported that the model had a propensity to be acoustically driven,...
متن کاملRules for controlling low-dimensional vocal fold models with muscle activation.
A low-dimensional, self-oscillation model of the vocal folds is used to capture three primary modes of vibration, a shear mode and two compressional modes. The shear mode is implemented with either two vertical masses or a rotating plate, and the compressional modes are implemented with an additional bar mass between the vertically stacked masses and the lateral boundary. The combination of the...
متن کاملFinite element model of the human phonation process
The basis of the human phonation process is given by complex interaction of air flow in the larynx together with structural mechanics of the vocal folds. This paper presents a numerical scheme to model the fluid-solid interaction in the human larynx and its resulting acoustic sound. The scheme is utilised to simulated the phonation process in a 2D-model. Different geometries of the vocal folds ...
