Vowel formants from the wave equation

Year: 2007
Type: article
Abstract: This article describes modal analysis of acoustic waves in the human vocal tract while the subject is pronouncing [o]. The model used is the wave equation in three dimensions, together with physically relevant boundary conditions. The geometry is reconstructed from anatomical MRI data obtained by other researchers. The computations are carried out using the finite element method. The model is validated by comparing the computed modes with measured data.
