Numerical experiments on computer could be a good alternative to the medical and biological experiments as they are difficult or in many cases impossible to be carried out non-invasively. Here we introduce the numerical simulation for vocal cords, vocal tract and cochlea research to investigate their behaviors. Elastic body-fluid coupled system models are proposed for the vocal cords vibration, acoustic transmission-radiation system models for the vocal tract and elastic membrane-fluid coupled models for the cochlea. Some numerical examples are demonstrated in which the models are numerically solved by finite and boundary element method. With the numerical approach, it is easy to vary the physical and dimensional parameters, which helps not only the understanding of the functions of the organs but also the computer-aided design of artificial organs.
