Reviewer 2 Report

(1) The topic is interesting and the results are reliable.

(2) The section of “Introduction” should be improvement, because it is too broad and lacks a targeted analysis of the progresses and shortcomings of relevant achievements.

(3) The section of “Discussion” pointed out that “Free surface flow tests with the pier show similar results to what observed in literature [5]” and “In the same section, velocity patterns 319 are also similar to what found in [5]”. Nevertheless, not only the results but also the innovation and the meaning of your research should be clarified.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript has been significantly improved. However, there are some flaws should be further revised.

1. The abstract is not enough for summarizing the main contents and innovations of the manuscript, including the brief background and the research method.

2. The “Introduction” is a bit fragmented. Furthermore, the description of some literatures does not conform to the writing habits of scientific papers.

3. It is more suitable to put the first paragraph of “Discussion” into “Conclusions” rather than the current position. In addition, “Discussion” should be further adjusted to clarify the core contents, avoiding some meaningless or repetitive statements.
