title: Comparison of glottal flow rate characteristics based on experimental and computational data.
abstract: In a recent computational model, Farahani and Zhang [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 136, EL369-EL375 (2014)] concluded that intraglottal vortices did not affect the closing mechanism of the folds. In order to determine the validity of any model that addresses the issue of vortex significance, it is important that the results of the computational model are comparable to experimental results. The results of Farahani and Zhang's model are inconsistent with data published for experimental models, which may challenge the validity of their conclusions.
