Márk's MSc Thesis was selected for its high technical quality, the significance of the problem it addresses, and the novelty of its approach.
The work tackles the numerical modelling of human voice production, a demanding aeroacoustic problem in which sound is generated by the flow through a geometry that is constantly changing as the vocal folds oscillate. Márk developed a new workflow that interpolates the source terms onto a time-dependent acoustic mesh and propagates the sound on the deforming domain, extending the framework to cases that were previously not possible. The thesis was prepared in collaboration with Graz University of Technology.
