We provide a selective review of recent progress in the analysis of several physiological and
physiologically inspired fluid-structure interaction problems, our aim being to explain the …

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 …

As the primary means of communication, voice plays an important role in daily life. Voice
also conveys personal information such as social status, personal traits, and the emotional …

The goal of this study is to better understand the cause-effect relation between vocal fold
physiology and the resulting vibration pattern and voice acoustics. Using a three …

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 …

For the clinical analysis of underlying mechanisms of voice disorders, we developed a
numerical aeroacoustic larynx model, called simVoice, that mimics commonly observed …

Investigation of voice disorders requires the examination of vocal fold vibrations. State of the
art is the recording of endoscopic high-speed movies which capture vocal fold vibrations in …

Many previous laboratory investigations of phonation involving physical models, excised
larynges, and in vivo canine larynges have failed to fully specify the subglottal system. Many …

The flow-induced responses of four self-oscillating synthetic vocal fold models are
compared. All models were life-sized and fabricated using flexible silicone compounds with …

In this tribute article to DG Miller, we review some historical and recent contributions to
understanding the myoelastic-aerodynamic (MEAD) theory of phonation and the related …
