Numerical simulation of the vocal folds self-oscillation in interaction with the human 3D FE vocal tract model

Result description

Finite element (FE) model of flow induced oscillations of the human vocal folds in interaction with acoustic processes in a simplified 3D FE vocal tract model is presented. The FE model includes vocal folds pretension before starting phonation, large deformations of the vocal fold tissue, vocal folds contact, fluid-structure interaction, morphing the fluid mesh according the vocal folds motion, unsteady viscous compressible airflow described by the Navier-Stokes equations and airflow separation during the glottis closure. The developed model enables to study influence of some pathological changes in the vocal fold tissue on voice production. After a FE mesh refinement, the model cal be also used to simulate stresses that can result in tissue damages causing various voice disorders.
