Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper presents the numerical and experimental works related to the drift potential characteristics of a flat fan nozzle. The numerical results were verified and compared with the experimental results. The results are interesting, however, the authors should address the following points before the manuscript can be considered for publication.

1) Reference [5] is not cited in this article. It is also quite old. Therefore, it should not be mentioned here.

2) Explain the reason why the author selects the various wind speeds 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 m/s, respectively. Are they consistent with the experimental works?

3) Please explain more details about the validation of numerical simulations and experimental results.

4) English grammar needs to be checked carefully. For instance, the lines 498 and 499, the sentence “Research manuscripts reporting….numbers” is hard to understand.

Reviewer 2 Report

Line 132- Add one or two more sentences regarding the applicability of the k-epsilon model.

LIne 141-Please provide the mathematical expression of  the relative Reynolds number LIne 147- Please provide the mathematical expression of  the Weber number    Line 151- Please add few sentences regarding the Fragmentation model.  LIne158-160- Split the sentences for better readability.  Line 205-  Is this Fluent Software? If yes, please use capital letter Line 226- "Except for a few disordered ones" - If possible,please provide the quantitative measurement line244-  What is "movement potential energy"? Please explain.    If there is no constraint regarding color images, please make the figure 9 with bars and symbols of different colors. Easier to distinguish.
