Flutter-tonguing:

David Pino's book on the Clarinet (The Clarinet & Clarinet Playing, now in Dover reprint) has a section on tonguing, including double and triple.  Pino's doctoral dissertation was on tonguing for the clarinet, so one might look this up for an in-depth discussion.

Avant-garde flutist Robert Dick recommends using the uvular throat trill instead of the tongue for flutter-tongue effects,  He also said it was a good imitation purr, effective for comforting frightened cats.

Here's a great photo (third one down) of tuba-shaped listening devices, where the bell end gathers the sound.
