What is On the Association of Secondary Hairpin Growth and Surface Pressure Gradient for Oscillating Foils about?

The correspondence of secondary spanwise structures and pressure gradient is numerically evaluated for a foil, performing heaving and pitching motion, at a range of phase offsets (90$^\circ$ $\le \phi \le$ 270$^\circ$) and reduced frequency (0.32 $\le St_c \le$ 0.56). The Reynolds number is $Re =$ 8000. The wake is shown to be dominated by secondary hairpin-like structures that are formed due to an elliptic instability prompted by the paired primary and secondary leading edge vortex ($LEV$). The weaker secondary $LEV$ undergoes a core deformation, resulting in streamwise vorticity outflux across the span of the foil, and hence, the growth of hairpin-like structures. Evaluating pressure gradients on the surface of the foil reveals a unique fundamental measure to quantitatively characterize the growth of these coherent structures. Their dominant presence can be directly linked to the growth of the secondary $LEV$ formed due to the large-scale interactions under localized adverse pressure gradients. These promote a streamwise flow compression in neighboring regions of the primary $LEV$. This association also presents a vivid consistency across a range of kinematics. Therefore, this co
