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 …

Human phonation does not always involve symmetric motions of the two vocal folds.
Asymmetric motions can create slanted or oblique glottal angles. This study reports …

The aerodynamic generation of sound during phonation was studied using direct numerical
simulations of the airflow and the sound field in a rigid pipe with a modulated orifice. Forced …

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 …

Despite the frequent observation of a persistent opening in the posterior cartilaginous glottis
in normal and pathological phonation, its influence on the self-sustained oscillations of the …

Three-way interactions between sound waves in the subglottal and supraglottal tracts, the
vibrations of the vocal folds, and laryngeal flow were investigated. Sound wave propagation …

Voice production involves sound generation by a confined jet flow through an orifice (the
glottis) with a time-varying area. Predictive models of speech production are usually based …

In this study, aerodynamic and acoustic measurements were obtained in a dynamic
mechanical model of the larynx and vocal tract. The model consisted of a uniform duct …

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