Examining diseased states in a scaled-up vocal fold model using simultaneous temporally resolved DPIV and pressure measurements

ORAL

Abstract

This study builds on the parallel presentation of Ringenberg, \textit{et al}. (APS-DFD 2017) involving simultaneous, temporally and spatially resolved flow and pressure measurements in a scaled-up vocal fold model. In this talk, data from experiments replicating characteristics of diseased vocal folds are presented. This begins with vocal folds that do not fully close and continues with asymmetric oscillations. Data are compared to symmetric, $i.e.$ `healthy', oscillatory motions presented in the companion talk. Having pressure and flow data for individual as well as phase averaged oscillations for these diseased cases highlights the potential for aeroacoustic analysis in this complex system.
