Abstract

In this paper a simplified  mathematical model of a voice production problem is considered. Here we focus on modelling  of the glottis closure, which is an important part of phonation process. A simplified vocal fold model describing the vocal fold vibrations with two degrees of freedom is considered and coupled with a simplified model of the fluid flow described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The vocal fold vibrations cause a deformation of the fluid computational domain which is treated with the aid the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method. The vibrations  can possible lead to an appearance of the vocal folds contact. This situation is treated with the aid of a combination of inlet boundary conditions, a fictitious porous media approach and the Hertz impact forces. Numerical method is based on the stabilized finite element method. Numerical results are presented.
