Figure 5.28 shows streamlines and the deformation of the computational domain
at several time instants, when the vibrating vocal folds are nearly closing the channel
creating a pulsating jet, and large eddies traveling behind the glottis to the outlet end
of the channel, similarly as in the previous example.
