Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I consider the subject important and the paper very interesting. I have some minor recommendations:
1) there relevance of the problem and the motivation for the present research should be highlighted;
2) the advantages of the method when compared with alternative approaches are not clear. This should be discussed in detail.

3) please improve the quality of the Figures in this paper.

4)  In general, the typeset equations should be regarded as parts of a sentence and treated accordingly with the appropriate grammatical convention and punctuation. More editing for writing is needed. At the end of all equations must be put "COMMA" or "POINT" according to the typing rules. Therefore, they need to pre-check all the equations. 

5) The references list is not at all updated with latest developments and
publications. I suggest the authors to keep up to date with the relevant literature such as

Author Response

The authors would like to thank the reviewers again for the time and effort, and for helping us to improve the manuscript.

The introduction has been modified to give the readers a clear concept and motivation of this paper.

The comparisons between the nonlinear EL method and mechanical model have been shown in example 1.

The quality of the figures has been improved.

The format has been checked.

The literature provided is new, but it seems not closely related to this paper.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Editor,

The new referee report you requested is attached containing the questions and answers you want,

Respects.

New Review Report(mdpi- applsci –AS-Manuscript ID Number-applsci-1737866)-mcancan

Article title:         The Effect of Porous Media on Wave-Induced Sloshing in a Floating Tank

Possible questions and answers about the article:

  1. What is the main question addressed by the research?

                In the article, the illustrates, necessary properties, definitions and theorems,formulas in finding variationality features of a special “sloshing mitigation ideality equation” structure modelling are characterized different type ideal equations(based Porous Media structure ideas and structure special rules).

  1. Do you consider the topic original or relevant to the field? Does it address a specific gap in the field?

                This topic fills the specific gap in characterizing the original “physical algebraic,topological geometrian and Application physical maps , applied sciences, representation approach, comparative analysis, fluid theory, numerical theory” model issue in applied science fields (with mechanical algebra theory and subsets of new type sets).

  1. What does it add to the subject area compared with other published material?

                The compared with other published material,there are adding “in determining special idea approach field, sufficient conditions for a special complex fluid equations and its contents to be the modelling with special floating set structures on the wave approach theory” the subject area(under surface structures).

  1. What specific improvements should the authors consider regarding the methodology? What further controls should be considered?

                Authors can improve by developing new aspects of a special absorbing pressure approach structure on connecting with the structure lng protection -problem equation to the associative algorithm representation theory equations of common swash balancing problem transforms regarding the Methodology, The authors can provide a control mechanism by making new different aspects from the phenomenon of developing special floating body fixing approach features(in frequency tuner approximation method models).

  1. Are the conclusions consistent with the evidence and arguments presented and do they address the main question posed?

                The results appear consistent with the evidence and arguments.

The arguments presented adequately address the main question.

  1. Are the references appropriate?

                In the article, references appear to be relevant to the study subject.

  1. Please (if any) include any additional comments on the tables and figures.

                model mechanisms formed from special applied sciences axiomity features on physical media forecasting approach theory and special idea counting physical -algebraic-mapping forms are developed and shown in terms of article images (under the structure idea connections and with the Eulerian-Lagrangian (EL) method and the Newmark time integration method).

report:In the article, it is seen that  the special " in physical -algebraic structure,and applied sciences field method(the theory of applied science)( applied theoretic method)" featured definitions and calculations are made (the special mapping forms and enumerating the numbers of physical algebraic on a special net) for some special applied approach form equations (with idea representation and strong enumerate the number calculations under Floating platform, Porous media; Sloshing; Equivalent mechanical model;Fluid-structure interaction).

findings: In the article, the special “applied sci and structural properties of the common complex ideas” process approach form equations are seen (the special ideal calculations) with the help of some special forms (under special idea physical algebraic map and ideality -theoretic tool and with a special operation).

strengths: In the article, there are proficiency-enhancing conditions for the special applied idea approach forms.

weaknesses: In the article, it may be necessary to develop some extra new ideal flow balancing conditions for the special ideal media process algorithms and applied idea approach forms of this type(with axiomatic ideas and mechanisms).

any minor issue: Although there are some minor weaknesses in terms of structure language, the article can be considered sufficient.

result: The article is suitable for publication for the journal.

Reviewer 3 Report

Appl. Sci.

The Effect of Porous Media on Wave-Induced Sloshing in a Floating Tank

  1. The abstract needs to be improve, by using abstract language. For instance “change” in line 12 should be in past tense “Changed”. The “are” in line 17 should be in past tense “were”
  2. The materials and methods can be improved
  • Generally, the English quality of the article can be improved
  1. Figures were adequate and concise.
  2. This paper can be acceptable for publication after effecting the minor changes

Best regards
