Tongue-tip trills and vocal-tract wall compliance.
The effect of vocal-tract wall compliance on tongue-tip trills is to create a favorable pressure-flow relation at the tongue tip for sustained vibration. The governing equations are derived for a model based on this mechanism, and data on unvoiced trills are used to help set parameters for a numerical simulation of the model.
