The Geophysical and Industrial Flow Laboratory (LEGI) is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 5519) of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble (Grenoble INP) and the University of Grenoble-Alpes (UGA). LEGI conducts a wide range of research activities with a common ground: fluid mechanics and associated transport phenomena.
The physics of production of human speech sounds presents itself as a complex problem of fluid interaction -structure -acoustic. The production of a single phoneme can be described as a sound source, which originates somewhere in the upper airway, i. e. the glottis and the vocal tract, the sound then propagates through the waveguide of the vocal tract and is then radiated to the lips. While the physical phenomena underlying the production of speech sounds from a single phoneme are well known, the dynamic nature of speech sound production is less well studied.
Therefore, the aim of this PhD is to contribute to the understanding, modelling and simulation of the dynamics of 3D waveguides on sound sources and subsequent sound propagation and radiation.
