Implementation of an aeroacoustic simulation pipeline using openCFS-Acoustics and openCFS-Data applied to human phonation

Abstract: The human phonation process be modeled using the Finite Element Method (FEM) which provides a detailed representation of the voice production process. A software implementation in C++ using FEM (openCFS) has been used to simulate the phonation process. The FEM model consists of a 3D mesh of the upper human airways. The simVoice model provides an accurate representation of the phonation process and was valid in several publications. In this article, we show how to set up the model using openCFS and openCFS-Data.
