Abstract

Measurements of pressure in oscillating rigid replicas of vocal folds are presented. The pressure upstream of the replica is used as input to various theoretical approximations to predict the pressure within the glottis. As the vocal folds collide the classical quasisteady boundary layer theory fails. It appears however that for physiologically reasonable shapes of the replicas, viscous effects are more important than the influence of the flow unsteadiness due to the wall movement. A simple model based on a quasisteady Bernoulli equation corrected for viscous effect, combined with a simple boundary layer separation model does globally predict the observed pressure behavior.
