Modeling incomplete glottal closure due to a posterior glottal opening and its effects on the dynamics of the vocal folds
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Even though incomplete glottal closure is present in normal and pathological voices, it has received little attention in self-sustained models of phonation. The effects of acoustic interaction due to a posterior glottal gap on the tissue dynamics, energy transfer, and glottal aerodynamics were numerically investigated. The domain was prescribed as flow through two separate orifices (posterior gap and membranous vocal folds) that merge in the supraglottal tract, with the governing flow equations determined from a control volume analysis based on conservation of mass and linear momentum. The equations of motion remained unaffected, although the driving forces were indirectly altered through the acoustic interaction. The method was implemented using the body-cover model, wave-reflection-analog sound propagation, and a boundary-layer asymmetric flow solver. The inclusion of a gap area of 0.03 cm2 reduced the RMS energy transfer from the fluid to the vocal folds by 20 % and radiated SPL by 5 dB. When compensating for this reduction with an increased subglottal pressure to match the same SPL, a significant increase in MFDR and AC flow was noted, thus mimicking vocal hyperfunction. In addition, larger gap areas yielded less glottal pulse skewing and a glottal airflow proportional to the transglottal pressure drop.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
