The human vocal folds are modeled and simulated using a fully coupled fluid-structure interaction method. This numerical approach is efficient in simulating fluid and deformable structure interactions. The two domains are fully coupled using an interpolation scheme without expensive mesh updating or re-meshing. The method has been validated through rigorous convergence and accuracy tests. The response of the fluid affects the elastic structure deformation and vice versa. The goal of this study is to utilize this numerical tool to examine the entire fluid-structure system and predict the motion and vocal folds by providing constant inlet and outlet pressure. The input parameters and material properties, i.e. elastic and density of the vocal folds used in the model are physiological. In our numerical results, the glottal jet can be clearly identified; the corresponding pressure field distribution and velocity field are presented.

A first order structural optimization problem is examined to evaluate the effects of structural geometry on blast energy transfer in a fully coupled fluid structure interaction problem. The fidelity of the fluid structure interaction simulation is shown to yield significant insights into the blast mitigation problem not captured in similar empirically based blast models. An emphasis is placed on the accuracy of simulating such fluid structure interactions and its implications on designing continuum level structures. Higher order design methodologies and algorithms are discussed for the application of such fully coupled simulations on vehicle level optimization problems.
