A quasi-one-dimensional model of aerodynamic and acoustic flow in the time-varying vocal tract: source and excitation mechanisms
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the conservation laws of classical fluid mechanics are used to derive a quasi-one-dimensional model of fluid flow in an elastic tube of time-varying cross-sectional area, representing the human vocal tract. The global flow equations are then decomposed into aerodynamic and acoustic components, representing respiratory flow and sound propagation during speech. The nature of the coupling between the two systems is investigated, and a new interpretation of the traditional source-filter model of speech production is proposed.

The history of articulatory synthesis at Haskins laboratories
Articulatory synthesis is a computational technique for synthesizing speech by controlling the shape of the vocal tract over time. Research at Haskins Laboratories on articulatory synthesis began with the arrival of Paul Mermelstein in the early 1970s. While at Bell Laboratories, Mermelstein had developed a vocal tract model that is often referred to as the Mermelstein model [1]. This model is ...
متن کاملAerodynamic Noise Computation of the Flow Field around NACA 0012 Airfoil Using Large Eddy Simulation and Acoustic Analogy
The current study presents the results of the aerodynamic noise prediction of the flow field around a NACA 0012 airfoil at a chord-based Reynolds number of 100,000 and at 8.4 degree angle of attack. An incompressible Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model is applied to obtain the instantaneous turbulent flow field. The noise prediction is performed by the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-...
متن کاملInfluence of Differences between Inverse Filtering Techniques on the Residual Signal of Speech
Introduction Human speech production is characterized by two major processes: i) the source signal generation, which is either the quasi-periodic vibration of the vocal folds in voiced sounds, a turbulent airstream in voiceless sounds, or a combination of both in voiced fricatives, and ii) the slowly varying shape of the vocal tract causing a time-varying modulation of the spectral envelope of ...
متن کاملExperimental verification of the quasi-steady approximation for aerodynamic sound generation by pulsating jets in tubes.
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 on the so-called quasi-steady approximation. The flow rate through the time-varying orifice is assumed to be the same as a sequence of steady flows through stationary orifices for wall geometries and flow boundary c...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Stability Analysis of a Liquid Propellant Combustor
A theoretical study analyzing three-dimensional combustion acoustic instabilities in a liquid propellant rocket engine combustor has been conducted. A linear theory based on Crocco’s pressure sensitive time lag model is used. To apply this theory the combustor is divided into two main components, including the combustion chamber and the converging part of the nozzle. The assumption of concentra...
