Numerical simulations of glottal flow
نویسنده
چکیده
Features of glottal flow are visualized by numerical simulation, using a Navier-Stokes solver for two-dimensional, incompressible flow. Four different shapes of glottal passages are examined, for comparison to stationary model measurements. Results include pressure distributions leading to the forces acting on the vocal folds and illustrate entry pressure loss and exit recovery. Flow field images also suggest where the commonly used discrete elements of resistance and inductance are geometrically located.

Steady Flow Through Modeled Glottal Constriction
The airflow in the modeled glottal constriction was simulated by the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flow, and the corresponding Reynolds equations for turbulent flow in generalized, nonorthogonal coordinates using a numerical method. A two-dimensional model of laryngeal flow is considered and aerodynamic properties are calculated for both laminar and turbulent steady flows...
متن کاملStylization of glottal-flow spectra produced b
A method is proposed to extract glottal-flow spectra from numerical simulations of vocal-fold behavior with a two-mass model including dynamic flow separation. The numerical spectrum, whose general form complies with that of signal glottal-flow models, allows stylization with three linear segments. The slope of the first segment remains relatively constant when source control parameters are var...
متن کاملOne-delayed-mass model for efficient synthesis of glottal flow
A lumped physical model of the glottal source is presented. Vocal folds are described as single masses, but vertical phase differences between upper and lower margins of the folds are taken into account by appropriately describing the non-linear interaction of the mechanical model with aerodynamics. This results in a modified one-mass model, or a “one-delayed-mass model”. Analysis on numerical ...
متن کاملExtension of the single-matrix formulation of the vocal tract: Consideration of bilateral channels and connection of self-oscillating models of the vocal folds with a glottal chink
The paper presents extensions of the single-matrix formulation (Mokhtari et al., 2008, Speech Comm. 50(3) 179 – 190) that enable self-oscillation models of vocal folds, including glottal chink, to be connected to the vocal tract. They also integrate the case of a local division of the main air path into two lateral channels, as it may occur during the production of lateral consonants. Provided ...
متن کاملDirect-numerical simulation of the glottal jet and vocal-fold dynamics in a three-dimensional laryngeal model.
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 dynamics in a three-dimensional model of the human larynx. The computed features of the glottal flow including mean and peak flow rates, and the open and skewness quotients are found to be within the normal physiological rang...
