Title Finite elements in vocal tract acoustics generation of vowels.
520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Most physics related to voice production takes place in our larynx and in our vocal tract. In this work we<br/>will focus on the latter and show its role in the generation of vowels, diphthongs and sibilants. A review<br/>will be made of the involved partial differential equations and the finite element methods (FEM) used to<br/>solve them. These equations may range from the irreducible wave equation in the case of vowels, to its<br/>mixed formulation in an Arbitrary Eulerian-Lagrangian (ALE) framework in the case of diphthongs, or<br/>to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, which are solved to obtain the acoustic source terms of<br/>acoustic analogies in the numerical generation of sibilants. Yet, it is well-known that for mixed problems<br/>in general, the standard Galerkin FEM suffers from oscillations which make necessary to resort to some<br/>kind of numerical stabilization. The variational multiscale methods (VMM), also often referred to as<br/>subgrid scale stabilization (SGS) methods, offer a nice way out to this situation by splitting the problem<br/>unknowns into large scales, resolvable by the computational mesh, and small scales whose effects onto<br/>the large ones have to be modeled. The additional terms in the variational equations arising from the<br/>modeled subscales not only account for stabilization but also offer many other advantages that will be<br/>outlined in the present work. As regards the numerical examples, three-dimensional simulations of vowels<br/>and diphthongs will be presented, as well as a simulation on sound generated by flow past a sharp edge<br/>at the exit of a rectangular duct, which is important for understanding some basic features of sibilant<br/>production.
