Abstrakt

Our goal is to simulate airflow in human vocal folds and their flow-induced vibrations. We consider two-dimensional viscous incompressible flow in a time-dependent domain. The fluid flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equations in the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation. The flow problem is coupled with the elastic behaviour of the solid bodies. The developed solution of the coupled problem based on the finite element method is demonstrated by numerical experiments.
