“…Furthermore, it is well established that hairpin vortices may appear as the consequence of the secondary instability and break-up of elongated streaks (Schmid & Henningson 2001). These and many other studies indicate that, unlike streaky structures, hairpin vortices are generated through nonlinear interactions (Eitel-Amor et al 2015). The fact that they naturally arise in many transitional and turbulent shear flows, as the consequence of the instability of streaks or induced by other causes (such as roughness elements or flow injection at wall), suggests the existence of a strong energy growth mechanism triggered by nonlinearity.…”

“…The energy decay seen in the impulse response needs further clarification, since the large-scale structures appear to have very little energy density, which was also noted by Eitel-Amor et al (2015). This hurdle could possibly disappear when, instead of response to isolated impulses, an appropriate sum of impulse responses is used; such forcing would represent the response to some spatio-temporally distributed forcing instead of a spatiotemporally localized forcing.…”

“…Codrignani (2014) extended the DNS-based study to different wall-normal locations for the impulse at a slightly lower Reynolds number of Re τ = 150. More recently, Eitel-Amor et al (2015) looked at the evolution of hairpin vortices at a higher Reynolds number of Re τ = 590, using the eLNSE as well as DNS to include a fully turbulent background. They found that the evolution of a single hairpin vortex observed in the turbulent DNS is well represented by the eddy-viscosity-enhanced LNSE; however, the linear model failed to capture regeneration, consistent with the earlier observations of Kim & Lim (2000).…”

“…Also, some studies cast doubts on the very idea that hairpin vortices are a prominent feature of high Reynolds number turbulence (see e.g. Jeong et al 1997;Eitel-Amor et al 2015). Indeed, an alternative explanation of the origin of large-scale motions is currently emerging, which conjectures that these motions are sustained by a mechanism similar to the self-sustained process (SSP) proposed by Hamilton et al (1995).…”
