This disorder is associated with small-to-medium sized velopharyngeal openings. These openings induce turbulence in the nasal cavity, which in turn produces sound. The purpose of this study is to examine the aeroacoustic mechanisms that generate turbulent sound during production of a sibilant \/s\/ with and without a small opening of the velopharyngeal valve. The models are based on two pediatric subjects who were diagnosed with severe audible nasal emission. The geometries were delineated from computed tomography scans taken while the subjects were sustaining a sibilant sound. Large eddy simulation with the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings analogy was used to predict the flow behavior and its acoustic characterization. It shows that the majority of the acoustic energy is produced by surface loading, which is related to dipole sources that resonate in the nasal cavity. The quadrupole source term that is associated with the unsteady shear layers is seen to be less significant. It also shows that closure of the velopharyngeal valve changes the far-field spectrum significantly because aeroacoustic mechanisms in the nasal cavity are eliminated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1121\/1.5135566","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,9]],"date-time":"2019-12-09T15:51:20Z","timestamp":1575906680000},"page":"4199-4210","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Sound production mechanisms of audible nasal emission during the sibilant \/s\/"],"prefix":"10.1121","volume":"146","author":[{"given":"Elias","family":"Sundstr\u00f6m","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati , 231 Albert Sabin Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45267, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liran","family":"Oren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Cincinnati , 231 Albert Sabin Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45267, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"231","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023080302483062500_c1","volume-title":"Mechanics of Flow-Induced Sound and Vibration Volume 1: General Concepts and Elementary Sources","year":"1986"},{"key":"2023080302483062500_c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"741","DOI":"10.1597\/11-131","article-title":"The relation of nasality and nasalance to nasal port area based on a computational model","volume":"49","year":"2012","journal-title":"Cleft Palate-Craniofac.
