چکیده

Fluid-structure interaction in a simplified two-dimensional model of the larynx is considered to study human phonation. The flow is driven by an imposed pressure gradient across the glottis and interacts with the moving vocal folds in a self-sustained oscillation. The flow is computed by solving the 2D compressible Navier–Stokes equations using a high order finite difference method, which has been constructed to be strictly stable for linear hyperbolic and parabolic problems. The motion of the vocal folds is obtained by integrating the elastodynamic equations with a neo-Hookean constitutive model. Fluid and structure interact in a two-way coupling using a similar high order difference method. In each time step at the fluid-structure interface, the structure provides the fluid with new no-slip boundary conditions and new grid velocities, and the fluid provides the structure with new traction boundary conditions. The frequency obtained in our simulation is close to values observed in human phonation.

Finite element model of the human phonation process

The basis of the human phonation process is given by complex interaction of air flow in the larynx together with structural mechanics of the vocal folds. This paper presents a numerical scheme to model the fluid-solid interaction in the human larynx and its resulting acoustic sound. The scheme is utilised to simulated the phonation process in a 2D-model. Different geometries of the vocal folds ...

Presenting a Modified SPH Algorithm for Numerical Studies of Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems

A modified Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is proposed for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems especially, in cases which FSI is combined with solid-rigid contacts. In current work, the modification of the utilized SPH concerns on removing the artificial viscosities and the artificial stresses (which such terms are commonly used to eliminate the effects of tensile and numeri...

Numerical simulation of flow hydrodynamic around dolphin body in viscous fluid

The biomimetic and hydrodynamic study of aquatic animals is one of the most challenging computational fluid dynamics topics in recent studies due to the complexity of body geometry and the type of flow field. The movement of the aquatic body, and particularly the tail section and the corresponding movement of fluid around the body, causes an unsteady flow and requires a comprehensive study of t...
