    This study models cochlear fluid dynamics in a 3D linear two-channel system. The 3D model accurately predicts cochlear response, especially at resonance, outperforming 2D models and matching experimental data.

    Area of Science:

    • Acoustics
    • Bioengineering
    • Fluid Mechanics

    Background:

    • The cochlea's complex structure influences auditory signal processing.
    • Previous models often simplify cochlear mechanics, limiting accuracy, particularly in 3D.
    • Understanding 3D fluid dynamics is crucial for accurate cochlear response prediction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and analyze a 3D linear two-channel cochlear model.
    • To investigate the impact of the basilar membrane's limited width on fluid movement.
    • To compare the model's predictive accuracy with existing 1D and 2D models and experimental data.

    Main Methods:

    • Analytical solutions were derived for a 3D cochlear model with a circular cross-section.
    • The mechanical impedance of the basilar membrane (z(x)) was approximated using linear and hyperbolic functions.

  • Fluid displacement was considered in both longitudinal (x) and radial (r) directions.

    • Main Results:

    • The 3D model's response characteristics fall between 1D and 2D models.
    • The hyperbolic approximation of z(x) yielded excellent agreement with experimental resonance data.
    • A distinct elevation in response at resonance was observed, characteristic of 3D structures.

    Conclusions:

    • The 3D cochlear model provides superior accuracy, particularly at resonance, compared to 2D models.
    • The elevated resonance response is a key indicator of 3D cochlear structure effects.
    • Further research should explore more complex 3D cochlear geometries and models.
