Theoretical consideration of the flow behavior in oscillating vocal fold

Self-excited oscillation of the vocal folds produces a source sound of the human voiced speech. The mechanism of the self-excitation remains elusive partly because characteristics of the flow in rapidly oscillating vocal folds are unclear. This paper deals with theoretical considerations of the flow behavior in oscillating constriction based on general flow equations. The cause-and-effect relationships between time-varying glottal width and...
