Recent theoretical and numerical studies of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) explosions within the single-degenerate scenario suggest that the nondegenerate companions could survive during the supernova impact and could be detectable in nearby supernova remnants. However, observational efforts show less promising evidence of the existence of surviving companions from the standard single-degenerate channels. The spin-up/spin-down models are possible mechanisms to explain the nondetection of surviving companions. In these models, the spin-up phase could increase the critical mass for explosion, leading to a super-Chandrasekhar-mass explosion, and the spin-down phase could lead to extra mass loss and angular momentum redistribution. Since the spin-down timescale for the delayed explosion of a rotating white dwarf is unclear, in this paper we explore a vast parameter space of main-sequence-like surviving companions via two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of supernova impact and the subsequent stellar evolution of surviving companions. Tight universal relations to describe the mass-stripping effect, supernova kick, and depth of supernova heating are provided. Our results suggest that the not-yet-detected surviving companions from observations of nearby SN Ia remnants might favor low-mass companions, short binary separation, or stronger supernova explosion energies than the standard single-degenerate channels.
