Generalized Skewed Model for Spatial-Fractional Advective–Dispersive Phenomena

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

After reading the manuscript myself these are my specific comments:

Please explain, what do you mean of t ??? in equation 01

Line 28 and 48:  citation number is missing after Ogata and Banks [….] and Benson et al. […..]

Line 36: Please explain the Ficks first law in brif or equation of Ficks first law in bracket

Line 48, 79, 83-84, 88,91, 104: citation number is missing after Benson et al., […], Mehdinejadiani et al.[…],  Lu and Molz […], Huang et al. […],  Moradi and Mehdinejadian […] , Ogata and Banks [….].

Line 227-228:  Please make it clear statement mean the columns with 6 cm height used for contamination study and columns with 12 cm for scale effects. It will also good to reader, if you explain it with line diagram or original Also provide the information on number of samples taken to the study.

Line 238: Please explain what do you mean of D in the dispersion coefficients equation ( D∗ = D/R and D∗ = D/R )

In fig 6. X-axis caption mentioned “Time, Days” but here I find only one kind of value. So, it’s confusing to me. Please make it clear either the values weather belong to time or Days.

In figure 6 caption mentioned (a) S6-01, (b) S6-02, (c) S6-03 and (d) S6-04 what does it mean. Provide this information clearly either in methodology section or here itself. What I understood S6 is stand for 6cm height and following number like 01 and 02 the duplication of samples

Table 1,2,3, and 4: Please put the full form of letter put in header of the tables after the table or below the table. Also explain what do you mean of “R” in those tables.

In Table 01: Why “R” vale is less in S6-03??? And lowest among them.

 

I also found, interpretation within the text with values/findings are poor. It sounds like a general discussion in spite of your finding. It would be good for readers if you explain your findings with values within the text also.  

Also recorded the discussion with pre-existing studies/reports/model are less. Also, no information has been provided on statistical analysis, and software used in this study.

I also suggest (If possible), adding a table of previous studies reported by various researchers around the globe on this topic, which will provide clear information about your findings in comparison to others. I felt it will more helpful to readers.
