Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Overall, this paper is judged that the contents of the review are well component.

It would be good to make a few modification:

1. p. 12

“Especially, it is of a great importance for simulation of LSP, as this will be used as an input to calculate the shock wave propagation and the induced residual stress field in depth of the treated material, and hence its fatigue life that may be simulated as well.”

The sentence seems incomplete. Correction is necessary to communicate the meaning correctly.

2. in the sentence,

Figure → figure

3. p. 27

“In [37], a first model has been proposed in agreement with experimental data.”

→“In a reference [37], a first model has been proposed in agreement with experimental data.

Thank you for your comments and providing us some modifications to improve our paper.

1) This sentence p.12 was modified and rendered simpler to make our meaning easier to get.
Line346 : “Indeed, this pressure source term is of a great importance for simulation of LSP, as this will be used as an input to simulate the propagation of shock waves inside the treated sample. Furthermore, from the shock waves propagation, the induced residual stress field in depth of the treated material can also be calculated, and hence the fatigue behavior of the component may be obtained”

2) Whenever this spelling was used, it was modified from Figure to figure.

3) The sentence p27 has been modified according to your suggestion.

Reviewer 2 Report

 In this review, the source term of plasmas induced by laser/matter interaction in confined regime was discussed.   The main mechanisms which drive the pressure generation were summarized and currently obtained experimental datas were reviewed.  The analytical and numerical models were discussed.

Tables 1 and Table 2 should be in three-line grid form.

Thank you for having reviewed our paper and proposed modifications.
Tables 1 and 2 were modified according to your suggestion.

Reviewer 3 Report

The paper „Review on Laser Interaction in Confined Regime: Discussion about the Plasma Source Term for Laser Shock Applications and Simulations” by Rondepierre et al. is an review article that highlights important issues. The manuscript contains valuable scientific review and should be published in its present form.
