Fig. 14. Schematic of the primary flow features constituting the mechanisms of surge
and heave force generation. (A) Surge: streamwise jet with the associated
vortex rings. Position of vortex rings do not necessarily follow a regular
pattern. See also Fig. 6C and
Fig. 7. (B) Vortex tubes
created along the edge of the ribbon fin shown in
Fig. 8. Yellow and blue
indicate the sign of vorticity, which alternates according to the direction of
the fin tip movement.
