eng Abstract:
This study deals with a numerical solution of a 2D unsteady flow of a compressible viscous fluid in a channel for low inlet airflow velocity. The unsteadiness of the flow is caused by a prescribed periodic motion of a part of the channel wall with large amplitudes, nearly closing the channel during oscillations. The channel is a simplified model of the glottal space in the human vocal tract. The authors present several numerical tests of computational domain, of modified numerical scheme and types of mesh for the wall motion frequency 100 Hz.
