Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Nonlinear vocal fold dynamics arising from asymmetric flow formations within the glottis are investigated using a two-mass model of speech with asymmetric vocal fold tensioning, representative of unilateral vocal fold paralysis. A refined theoretical boundary-layer flow solver is implemented to compute the intraglottal pressures, providing a more realistic description of the flow than the standard one-dimensional, inviscid Bernoulli flow solution. Vocal fold dynamics are investigated for subglottal pressures of 0.6 < p(s) < 1.5 kPa and tension asymmetries of 0.5 < Q < 0.8. As tension asymmetries become pronounced the asymmetric flow incites nonlinear behavior in the vocal fold dynamics at subglottal pressures that are associated with normal speech, behavior that is not captured with standard Bernoulli flow solvers. Regions of bifurcation, coexistence of solutions, and chaos are identified.
